Thanks David,

On Pi #2 I've loaded Fedora 28 libraries, compilers etc.. and all is
working well using the command line: 
./freedv_rx 700D ve9qrp_700d_int1_fast_snr2dB.wav - | aplay -f S16

This is quite low on CPU usage, just 16% on the Pi.

So my "Parrot Repeater" idea using a Pi (Banana Pi) looks quite "do-able".

I should give some numbers, VHF contest on now!!
