Yep my Sandisk class 6 should show up tomorrow....I'll be testing on a monitor with USB but I have a charger....and the rest all ready to go really.
Think that memory leak is alsa? Thanks for the tips, should be easy enough to get it going. I will try and see if I an hack in some ARM support using python's os.platform or similar...should be do-able.

Unfortunately the whole thing locked up - no response to SSH session or keyboard - so hard to diagnose.
But - Squeezeplay by itself worked OK from command line on same system - with XBMC shutdown.
(RC3 of Raspbmc allows you to exit and hit escape when a message pops up to drop to terminal session - otherwise XBMC gets restarted)
I might try with a different memory allocation on boot (different start.elf) and see if it makes a difference. However, giving more to the OS means taking it away from GPU which might mean that video doesn't play well.

It doesn't seem to me like the lock up is XBMC per se - it's not eating up mem (according to top), or CPU for that matter. I see errors with avahi and procps?
(and I can actually kill XSqueeze with escape even though it's not updating the screen anymore it seems...)
(my guess is it's the alpha alsa...)

How does one make the sudo modprobe snd-bcm2835 thingy permenant? I thought if I put such a snd-bcm2835.conf (empty) file in /etc/modprobe.d/ it would auto load it but apparently not? Hints, I'm not a huge linux user....

Can someone help me with the following:
1. Where do I find the dependencies for xsqueeze? not able to install at the moment and the add-on is marked as broken
2. Are there any logfiles anywhere for xsqueeze?

I have seen this occasionally on fresh xbmc installs - I think it's because the xbmc repo hasn't updated itself yet...basically, just force refresh the xbmc.org refresh (right click/contect menu -> fore crefresh) and do the same for the bossanova808 one, and then wait for maybe an hour at most, and it should no longer be marked as broken.
Let me know if that doesn't work and I can look into it further but I am pretty sure it's just a startup type glitch....in a way, xbmc should maybe keep you out of the addons section till it's done its first update or something.

So how annoying do you folks find the kind of double display overlay issues (e.g. volume/next track pop up notice from xbmc when these should be XSqueeze only things)....the reason they occur is there is no way to absorb input events in addons -> they always get passed through to XBMC even if you handle them in the addon. I wanted obvious remote control compatibility so that's why it works this way, but I have worked out there might be a gross hack to solve this
(basically, I would, on XSqueeze start, put in a temporary keymap in your keymaps foler, fore a reload of keymaps, then on exit delete this file and restore your normal keymap.
Pros - should be able to remove the annoying messages
Cons - if XSqueeze/XBMC crashes, this keymap would be left behind and might screw up your normal XBMC functioning (particularly volume and skip forward/back) - until XSqueeze was next run and then exited.
It won't be too hard technically I think (ha!) - and would definitely make XSqueeze a bit nicer, but I am worried about the side effects.

I've been having some trouble with downloads from my repo lately, though - is this working for others? A force refresh find the update and triggers the download but it never actually comes....debug logging isn't helping so I want to see if this is an issue for others, and if so I will try and get some help on it....
