Sorry but I would stay away from the Wolfson card, it is not well supported as the company somehow did not manage to get their drivers included in the kernel.
so in short you will be unable to use it with piCorePlayer, and I think you will have a hard time getting it to work in a recent kernel. I think you can find other cards that you can use with a rpi B piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.
