Well, it's unique in the sense that it offers not only the CODEC, but amplification that can directly drive decent (but not huge) speakers. My current board also provides level shifting and sufficient power to drive a decent strand of WS2811 LEDs. I also provide 1.8V for use with the ADC (in my case, I drive potentiometers for user input). With stackable headers, the vast majority of the rest of the pins would still be available for other uses. Anyway, maybe I'll do a kickstarter/preorder of some kind, see if I can get enough revenue to build 100 boards.
