XBMC was only an example of a 3rd party application having difficulty
with audio on the digital outputs of these media players.  I would
expect a developer of a SB player app (e.g. ported Squeezeplayer) to
encounter similar issues.  I was responding to the suggestions of the
media players with optical outputs.

Googling messages on various Android media player message boards and
many of them are not "decently engineered". It would be nice to have a
"big name " media player but they seems to be scarce.

A number of users seem to want a device permanently connected to their
audio system and remotely controlled so I think tablets or even a player
(e.g. galaxy player) are not suitable.  The Linux product was only an
indication of a product with optical out and a price point of about
US$100/GBP100.
