It’s the OrangePI Zero, not RaspberryPi Zero.  It’s a 1.2Ghz Allwinner H2+ (A7 Quad core) with 512MB RAM.  It’s pretty close to a RaspberryPI 2 I think.

Regarding the sound, it uses the sunxi sound system, not the Broadcom one, but I’m certainly going to have to investigate it further to see if it will work.

Looking through Github, the channel driver for the Beagleboard looks much like what I want so I might have a play with that.

Thanks!

Carl.
