Sure :) The sound setup screen is self-contained in the sound_menu.c
file so that's an easy thing to do.

Keep scrolling for a second, then release the key. Did the scroll stop immediately? If it did, please split this too into a separate patch and submit it.

There were too many lcd_update() calls on the code, only one was
really necessary. I think the speed is OK. Anyone has a different
opinion?

Rockbox (and Archos original firmware) misses keypresses.
I changed the keyboard poll interval and it has improved
though it's not perfect yet.
I also made the auto-repeat faster to suit my personal taste.
I did this version mainly to suit my usability needs, ideally
the auto-repeat should be user-configurable.

Me too. My hacker side has been dormant for many years but I
think rockbox has woken it up. I shouldn't have compiled GCC
for the sh1.
