Has anyone tried using this for music playback only, headless on your stereo?
I have a Raspberry Pi, I think about putting Xbian on it and running it headless, with my little kitchen stereo as audio out.
Playlist management etc operated only by xbmcremote on my N900! Any similar experiments/experiences out there?
Does Xbmcremote have the ability to power up a standalone XBMC system such as e.g. Xbian on a RasPi?
This is exactly the use case I've written Xbmcremote for in the first place. Not sure if the raspberry Pi has Zeroconf and wakeonlan enabled by default. If yes, trying to connect with Xbmcremote should automatically wake up your raspberry pi. If you don't use Zeroconf, make sure to insert the MAC address when configuring a new host in xbmcremote.

If you use a N9 and have NFC tags around, tapping the tag with your phone is enough to launch Xbmcremote and boot up your raspberry pi.
