I've been a lurker here in the forum since I've bought my n900 and now I've just registered in order to let you know that I'm sooo grateful to you to have ported rockbox. I'm a rockbox user since years and having it running on my mobile is awesome.
The real thing I'm missing at the moment is the ability of running it in a window and not fullscreen. I'm a wrong if I suppose that running rockbox that way could also benefit the general performance and maybe the sporadic audio skips I'm experiencing from time to time would be resolved?
So now I just hope that it will be implemented soon.
Thank you so much again.

I am loving Rockbox so far but there are a few gripes that prevent me from using it on a daily basis:
- Cant adjust volume with volume button when N900 is locked
- No configurable keys (Eg: I prefer to use space as the pause/play key and also have a dedicated key to go to the now playing screen)
- No pause when I unplug headphones
- Japanese characters are displayed as squares (Sazanami Mincho font works but font is too small to read)
I have experience in C programming and might be able to help if I have access to the source code and details on how to compile.

My main activity currently concentrates around making windowed/fullscreen mode switchable.

Perhaps there's some special handling activated by the name of the application, see the old fmtransmitter (libplayback) hack to output audio while silent mode is active.

Because you call osso_initialize, you have a way to accept method calls.

New release is in extras-devel. It contains quite some remarkable features:
- Embedded album art support
- Fixed bookmark handling
- Prevent stuck up/down buttons on N900 with shared cursor keys
- Fixed Last.FM scrobbler log file
- New threading code uses less CPU
- Fix rare hang on shutdown
- Small fixes to the metadata parser
- Update to rockbox SVN code
in any case iam so gratefull for your work.

It works great so far. And this version now starts the file browser in MyDocs and not in /.
Hooray!!
