Good question... squeezelite delivers very good sound quality on the

sound from Touch. It does.
Might be a stupid question what does the -z option do? I guess it's only

It daemonizes the application.
Usually that means putting an application into background + disconnect
it from the shell from which it's been started. Pretty much like a

Those, who run Ubuntu might want to try the Ubuntu low-latency kernel.
Install:

This kernel might not work well for your desktop experience, but can
speed things up in the background on audio only machines.
It's a step below realtimekernel machines, like

Hi Castalla.
I think it is a good suggestion.
I think that you should download the correct Cubieboard script from the

use instead of the script.bin file that you got from microcore.

I'm near the top of my knowledge here - the only thing I can add here,
is to ask if you have installed dropbear on the Cubie. It is not
