no worries, it would work just fine (as soon as i would write a wrapper). but espeak is.. well, good for some kid fun and not for audiobooks. if there would be some decent txt2speech engine..

1/ as for book reader part, don't know, with decent audio engine, oscp has few features not found in any other book reader
2/ i didn't made it as a-v player, but it uses libav already, so half of the tools (decoders) is there, so no need to open in mplayer (though possible because oscp was using mplayer as a slave in the first iteration). it is possible to extend it to display video part. feature put in todo.
3/ and skinning is going fairly well. looks good, works good. might release it in a few hours

upped 0.9.7-11 to fremantle, if you want to see winamp skin edit oscp-remote.py and change style_me=2 to 3. looks a bit ugly because somehow labels aren't showing without a kludge :/ i've included script to extract skin into pngs, needs imagemagic for now so preferably use it on pc then copy resulting .png to /opt/oscp/share/images/

missing labels bug was my fault. upped -12, looks almost good now:

just wrote mplayer slave interface, but it's too slow to play videos on n900

good news, now (0.9.7-15) oscp can play video files via gst (but you have to enable video play). also i have to add disabling screen blank. enjoy

0.9.7-16 news: screen blanking prevented when running remote with local core on n900. also added buttons to list in style_me=3 mode. and some other small fixes

0.9.7-17: fixed ncurses frames, now they look nice! (tip: start with -l 0)

0.9.7-18: added help 'h' and info 'i' sub windows to remote

0.9.7-19: pygtk fixes and enhancements. also try style_me=3 (winamp skin mode). also updated diablo build. also uploader is choked so it might get some time before packages show up
