Subject: Porting rockbox to Nokia N900

Porting rockbox to Nokia N900

Hello,

I'm working on a Nokia N900 port of rockbox. Attached you'll find
my current code. It's working already quite nice :)

Some features:
- Gstreamer based audio backend
- Stop playback on incoming calls
- Playback of music in "silent mode" (this was a tough one)
- Battery levels and runtime estimation
- Suspend screen updates if phone display is off
  or the application is not in focus
- Adjust rockbox volume if the volume is modified from external
- Assembler optimized playback

The code is still a bit messy. I'm currently cleaning it up
for flyspray submission. Things on my todo list:
- Create something like a PLATFORM_MAEMO define
  and make the N900 support optional.
- Use only one thread for N900 specific dbus communication
- Move gstreamer backend from pcm-sdl.c to an own pcm-gstreamer.c
- Remove "TOMJ" debug output messages

The improved SDL screen update code is already in FS#11834.

On that note: Happy X-Mas.

Cheers,
Thomas
