Xduoo x3
Serenity:
Kokos, I think you're right--I set my player to boot into the WPS and have had no issues, probably because I don't try navigating the menu so soon on boot.
I have run into the issue where Ogg files won't play, though. This is less than ideal, since over half my music is Ogg Vorbis. :-\ I'm going to try stripping the comments from a few and see if that helps. There's OFW for that I suppose, but compared to Rockbox, the OFW is very limited.

I'm still not sure developer can see these requests, whether this is right place to submit them.
Serenity:
I'm assuming since this isn't an official Rockbox port (yet), xVortex is simply making his own port available for others to use/modify/review. If he doesn't use Ogg Vorbis, pause on headphone plug out, etc., it's likely he's not interested in troubleshooting these issues.
It is possible to contact him via his website, but he does refer Rockbox support questions to the Head-Fi forum devoted to the port. If I get sassy (or drunk) I may contact him and ask, but for now I'm just happy the X3 runs Rockbox.
Tacoboy:
Does Rockbox currently work well with the Xduoo X3.
As I'm thinking of getting the Xduoo X3 (Rockboxed) as an improvement, over my Sony NWZ-E464 player.
Serenity:
That depends on how forgiving your definition of "well" is. The Xduoo X3 is responsive, sounds great, and has very few issues running Rockbox.
The only two real bugs I've run into consistently are lack of Ogg Vorbis support (the X3 skips any .ogg files) and the "stkov dircache" panic error. If you don't use Ogg Vorbis for your music, then no problem there. And the panic error doesn't seem to happen often (usually when I try navigate the menu immediately on boot). All I have to do is let the X3 boot and leave it alone for five or ten seconds, then it's fine.
Another note: Use a card reader or boot into OFW to transfer music to the device. USB connectivity is a little strange with Rockbox. I use a card reader anyway, just for the speed boost.
If you can live with these bugs, then grab an X3. Even with the bugs, Rockbox is so much better than the original firmware.
