Hi Tom you ask:
Would adding some type of wheel feedback like the original firmware
has with a sound in the external loudspeaker for every step be
of any help, though?

Worth a try just like my PDA has a little click everytime I scroll...rocker

Disabling it completely might be a bit hard right now, since
Rockbox is pretty dependent on it for navigation. It would
really require us to code two separate button maps for the
Ipod target, and I don't believe anything like that has been done
in Rockbox before. This is no reason not to try it, of course.
