I am using mpd/mpc. But it seems to be poorly written - mpd uses
infinite loop design causing hundreds of wakeups per second even when
idle, GUI frontends are not well written and either don't compile or
crash on ARM. Hopefully mpc works and I wrote a simple binding to CE-RH2
remote.

It has the same FP problem with OGG Vorbis. Minimalistic GStreamer (with
ivorbisdec) based player would be really nice.

I am sure, that you do not want to cross-compile on palm. PC is much
faster for it.

If are lazy to prepare a package for cross compilation, you may want to
try the native compilation. Akita itself is not so bad for it. It's
enough to install compiler and required -dev packages and you can start.
You may need to create swap.

It's a bit slow, but for small C projects it's still acceptable:
mpd: ~5 minutes
kernel: ~5 hours
