One more off topic reply to possibly close off the digression

As no longer a "public" developer( I have Pi, Cubie1 and Wandboard and a
number of SB players) I have a comment. To keep "Users" away from
developers thread I think a "Main Forum" thread is needed to summarise
what is going on as there is (to the uninformed User) a number of
similar but different projects (picoplayer on Pi, Squeezeplug on Pi and
Odroid, CSOS on Wandboard, Vamp on Pogo - not forgetting all the various
audio/DAC addons) - so users are asking basic questions (and expressing
development requests such as pico on BBB)  in the development thread as
their only way to get informed on status/progress.  As real SBs are
limited, a number of users are looking to buy a board (e.g. Pi, Odroid,
Wandbaord, BBB, CubieBox, Cubieboard 1 2 3 , Pogo) to acts as a player
and they are unsure which one to choose. I see such a discussion thread
could be used to draw User generic comments (such as which board is
best, LCD screen, Bluetooth support) away from the specific development
threads.  I have been toying with the idea of buying a Cubietruck but
got sidelined exploring Odroid and BBB. The sort of question opinion on
the thread I'd like answered would be why a developer chose Cubietruck
as an SB player vs. Wanbaord or Pi. I'll start the thread if you think
it may help ?  Otherwise I'll lurk to see how CSOS on Cubietruck
progresses.

Castalla, BT both as a destination (play to speaker) and source (send
audio from smartphone) is still an interest of mine (especially with
Wandboard onboard BT) but my time is being spent on another development.
To answer your questions I need to resurrect my tests.  If you bump your
old BT thread, I'll try to add some items but it will be a drip feed. 
My personal aim was to make SB scripts to support adapters and
understand define the Alsa and Pulse audio setups but the details on
adaptors, supported profiles/codecs and bluez version were critical to
success.
