Except when I'm experimenting with it for fun, my 'bone is used only to 
play music. I ran it headless when I was using MPD, but there are a lot of 
cautionary posts on the appropriate forums about having a monitor connected 
when booting JRiver Media Center - so I planned to leave an HDMI cable 
connected to one of the inputs on the nearest monitor but never use it (I 
access the program via JRemote on handhelds).  However.....I've not tried 
using JRMC headless myself, and there seem to be many people doing this 
without difficulty.

 I won't access my network via WiFi because USB is the only way for the 
music to get to the DAC, and sound quality can suffer when files are being 
brought in and out via the same USB.  So I use eth0 to access my FLACs on 
NAS and leave wlan0 disabled.

I think using the card with an expanded file system sounds like the best 
bet for me - I won't suffer serious emotional trauma from having to abandon 
my quest to use the MMC. :)
