Yes, it runs on my XP1000. Admittedly it was skipping frames on a standard definition MPEG file, which is interesting because this machine can play such files without a problem, but on closer inspection I see that pulseaudio is taking up over 30% CPU time. If I could point kodi at alsa directly I expect it would work very nicely. > The kodi package is quite big.

I presume that the managers of debian-ports have already considered the space resources of the ports building the archive when they accepted them into debian-ports. There are some extremely big packages already built on Alpha (webkit, libreoffice, etc.) and one more should not be a problem. Cheers Michael.
