Hello!

I recently bought an N800, which should be arriving shortly, and I'd love to use it as a session recording device with a decent external mic and a higher bit rate. It looks like there has been some other discussion (e.g. here) on this forum about doing this, but I wonder whether anyone has gotten further? There is a bug in the Maemo bugzilla about the sample rate, and Audacity apparently runs but neither plays nor records. Some other audio-related apps have been ported as well.

There is a Debian ARM port of Audacity, so it looks like the only problem is with accessing the DSP. I haven't found much other discussion of this use of the tablets, so I figured I'd ask here if anyone had started poking around with the N8x0s DSP (some have, without luck)? Alternately, is there any good documentation or a programming API for it?

thanks, and hopefully I'll be able to contribute some apps in the future. This looks like a cool platform.
