Pretty impressed with this release...tried a few files to test (the two included clips on the N900 as well as a mix of Handbrake'd x264 ones) and they all played smooth as silk with perfect audio. Don't know how much of that is due to being overclocked to 850mhz, but eh. The only thing I have is that the CPU is constantly pegged, even when not playing anything (Conky shows utilization at roughly 80% and PulseAudio another 8%), and oddly enough MP3 audio playback was choppier and used just as much CPU... without visualizations activated. With them activated, the audio stream just broke down to random beeps and bloops unitl it was deactivated.

Still early so I know there's plenty more to optimize, but I can't help but be impressed at the quality of this release. Nice job, devs!
