I built everything with softfloat and used libmad and tremor for
mplayer. Mp3's play great with madplay and/or mplayer. Video's encoded
with settings similar to what is needed for pocket pc's also play
extremely well full screened.

While i too like debian it was just too heavy on these machines. My
rootfs at 125mb would take about 500mb if i installed the same
software in debian. The only 2 drawbacks right now are lack of udev
support and wpa (without skytones weird proprietary wifiup and
wireless-lan software).

Cheers.
