Hi All, new here, waiting for my pandora to arrive. I'm daydreaming of some things I could use the pandora for in my home studio or with my band. I work doing embedded linux and dsp development for a pro-audio company so I'm happy to get hands on.
There is a gadget mode midi driver for otg usb. This means you can connect your pandora to a PC and it appears as a midi device This could be used for implementing synthesizers and controllers on the pandora It's already in the 2.6 kernel tree so shouldn't be too hard to integrate with the pandora.
There is also a kernel driver for usb audio in gadget mode ( see here.. http://neophyte.vipme.com/gpl/bravo-2.6.32.24/drivers/usb/gadget/Kconfig under USB_AUDIO). This could be used to turn the pandora into an audio interface/effects processor for a desktop PC. The pandora would appear as an audio device on the PC and the Pandora's inputs and outputs would appear as ins/outs in the desktop machine. With a bit of hacking, the number of audio inputs and outputs available over the otg port could be higher than the number of physical audio ports. If the DSP chip was working, then some audio effects could be implemented on the CPU or better still on DSP and audio could be passed to/from the host computer like a send effect.
Another thing that would be cool would be to port libdsmi over to pandora http://dsmi.tobw.net/. It's used a lot in iphone and nintendo ds apps for wifi midi. It's pretty sweet because it requires hardly any config on the host machine and the host can be OSX or PC. This would be cool for developing midi control apps on the pandora like a monome clone or touchosc type stuff.
Any other audio nerds out there developing for pandora?
