The CPU already has an OTG port, I might as well bring it out, if you
don't want to use it as a device port you can use it as another host
port (just use the right cable and you can switch between device and
host).

Yes I can move the headphone jack to the extreme left on the bottom, put
the XLRs on the top, with the RCAs on the bottom centered on the space
in between the XLRs. (I have to stagger the pins of the XLR and RCA).

The micro USB connector  for power will fit on the other side of the 
board  from the barrel connector, and they are quite inexpensive. Since
it is JUST a "charger jack" I don't have to do anything fancy, I'm just
going to parallel it with the barrel connector. The phase1 users can let
me know if it causes any confusion or problems.
