Matthias,

Yes, this looks very interesting. Maybe hackable consumer devices are 
the way to go instead of eval boards for small projects.

For asterisk+btsco, it even sounds like someone has gotten asterisk to 
run on a box with similar specs (wrt54gs) but I wish there was a little 
more wiggle room than just 32MB ram.

I had no luck trying to find anything suitable with included line-in to 
do live a2dp streaming. A usb audio dongle could work with the slug I 
guess :(
