I have just ordered a Raspberry Pi model B 512Mb RAM. I would like to get the RaspPi running XBMC as a player for my music library. Almost all the music is 16 bit 44.1kHz flac files but I have a few MP3 albums. Once set up and working I would want it to run it without keyboard, mouse, or monitor most of the time, and I would want to remote control XBMC from an Android tablet or iPad2. I would want to be able to shutdown the RaspPi from the remote controller. The music would be stored on a portable usb drive attached to the RaspPi. I do not have an HDMI enabled amp/receiver so I was considering a cheap PCM2704 based USB DAC as a starting point.
Now to my questions.
Can anyone say whether my wishes will be reasonably straightforward to implement or are there potential problems?
Which will be the better way to go OpenElec or Raspbmc?
Will I gain a speed advantage by using a class 10 SD card over say class 4 or 6, and what size card would be recommended?
