Hi Greg

We (bmarkus or me) compile our own kernel from the raspberry github, and
as far as I understand it the B+ model needs the newest kernel in order
for the USB and LAN to function, but actually I think that these changes
have been in the kernel for a long time, and therefore piCorePlayer1.6a
will work on the B+.
The firmware files are simply downloaded from here and then copied to
the boot partition on the SD-card.
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot 

However, the I2S-stuff is probably not working as they previously was
take via the P5 connector, and now they are located in the larger 40 pin
P1 connector.
