The Raspberry PI is really cheap and runs Linux, so it does provide some real possibilities, though it is, in some ways, quite limited - max 256m ram at present, for instance - and documentation is currently not really in a "this is how you do it" state (http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-42993/l/raspberry-pi-single-board-computer) but, once again, it is _very_ cheap and also frugal as far as power goes. Looking at the schematic (http://www.element14.com/community/solutions/5952/l/raspberry-pi-schematic-for-raspberry-pi-model-b-board) it seems that the SPI pins are available on a standard header so shouldn't be too difficult physically to add DAC's or ADC's (since most use that interface), though how easy it would be to write the drivers, I don't know.

I was pointed to a device, which is able to play audio-files of up to
16 channels without the need of a computer as a stand-alone device. It
is basically a SD-card player and I wonder, if this might be
interesting for some on this list.
Here's something in the same vein that could be of some use:
