really any point in a 'boxed linux' version of it..
Sounds like you're experienced with these. I'm curious, did you manage to compile and install Pd or Pd-extended on them? Is it possible to get duplex audio I/O with Pd? (still a problem with the Pi). Do you need to use a real time kernel to get decent sound from Pd? Is a real time kernel for ARMv7 available at all?
Could try a pd-extended compile, there is also just the normal debian versions of this. Beagleboard/Pandaboard/IGEPv2/Cubieboard all share the same core and many users.
There seem to be realtime support since 3.0.27 for ARMv7.
Hopefuilly some of these open hardware projects will spend the effort to get the audio drivers right, so that there isn't the massive latency like with Android.
There is now a Debian source package as part of the nightly builds, so it should be much easier to build Pd-extended on Debian these days. After downloading the two tarballs:
http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/Pd-extended_0.43.4~20121224... http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/Pd-extended_0.43.4~20121224...
You basically just need to do this:
tar xjf Pd-extended_0.43.4~20121224-source.tar.bz2 cd pd-extended tar xjf ../Pd-extended_0.43.4~20121224-source.debian.tar.bz2 debuild -uc -us --lintian
