Andy,

I haven't seen mention of that specific hardware before. The Eden 
processor is well supported though and should work with either the VIA 
image or the generic i586 image. You would get a much higher volume of 
calls, especially if transcoding between different codecs. Overall it 
looks like a nice piece of hardware.
