Finally had a little time after working on the HT ..
The discussions here perked my curiosity of what can be done using existing resources ..So here is my stand alone media player for Audio . I had all the components on hand , it was just the right mix of software to install .
Essentially a standalone headless squeezebox player , but this time the server (LMS) is also on the same device
USB HDD -> Pogoplug -> Usb Dac. ( your choice of usb dac that works under linux )
Remote control via Ipeng on Iphone
Still more work to finalize but the basics are working ...
But my plan is really just to use this pogoplug as my Audio only media server running 24/7 at 5 watts , to replace the vortexbox
