Well that was just an example,it can be made in any way.Like this :
Also i noticed many would want tos-link input.Why?
Another thing i did expect to find here,strange it's not posted being this audiocentric:
Swappable Opamp
It's something I saw on a pc sound card,don't remember the brand.
An opamp greatly decide the sound output over the headphones and i think it would be cool if they
were easily swappable,using some kind of slot in mechanism,so that someone could have the sound he prefer.
Also i would like to know,is rockbox built from scratch or it's based on some os like linux?

Well, I would just use a good one and use that for marketing :-). Anyway, the important is to define what kind of player will be, for who. It's up with you now.
And please do not forget the technical questions, as the main ARM IC, and all others that should have Open full documentation!! also long life in market!! -- I think this are anothers questions that will not help in the price...
LinusN:
I'm all for changing the specs to make it more commercially viable, but it is very important that the components have public data sheets, or at least that we are able to release source code for the components without restrictions.
I also agree that it is less important to be able to build it yourself as long as the commercial player is reasonably cheap and is built on components that have a reasonable lifetime. I'd hate the player to die an early death because the components disappear from the market.
Regarding the toslink, many users use Rockbox to connect to the home stereo equipment. They want to use the toslink output for better playback sound quality, and the input for recording for example DAB radio IIRC.
