It has a FPGA?!?! What is this thing, a battery-powered bitcoin miner?! :o
The website seems like it was put through Google translate:

Its probably used as glue logic to connect two different components. I doubt they reprogram it but rather probably just fix a handful of gates at the factory.
Still using a MHz amplifier and a completely useless hardware resampler chip is strange.

If Rockbox could run on it, could the FPGA be used? To accelerate the decoding of audio? To mine bitcoins :)?

Theres no real functional units or anything like that on it, just a few programmable logic gates. Its probably for interfacing a bunch of those random hardware devices together.
