All right, status report :
To my great surprise, it worked perfectly at first try :-)
Thanks again Oblomow for the detailed instructions !
After installing kp49 and h-e-n, I connected the N900's usb output to my DAC's input.
After the three-step h-e-n setup the DAC's LED turned to green, and cat /proc/asound/cards showed a detailed description of it.
Then the magic command (
mplayer FILE.mp3 -ao alsa:device=hw=1.0)
played everything through the DAC, yay ! :-)
So now we have a definite proof of concept that it is doable.
What's left is about usability on a day-to-day, on-the-go basis :
* a script that automates h-e-n speed/VBus/enumerate
* redirection of the standard sound output to USB so that any music player can be used
* buy a new battery, because h-e-n seems to suck down fast, although the DAC has its own power :-)
Getting really close now, thanks to you !
