Thanks everybody, I will definitely try to get in contact with OpenCirrus, and if not I can at least test with some amazon hw so I can prove the application concept. And the Whirr project is really interesting, I will give it a look specially because we really don't want to depend on a single service provider. Thanks again for the suggestions.
