Do you know what kind of TS-7300 specific changes (if any) are there
on the image? While obviously can't support every and each arm board
out there, this board appears interesting. cheap and relatively well
suited periphals for debian. Plus having something of the Cirrus ARM
variant would be good for completeness.

In current arm port it is hard to use Maverick, statically
compiled mplayer compiled with a special maverick toolchain
should be possible. For simple sound, tremor[1] is fixed-point
Ogg Vorbis decoder that should run fine with 200Mhz.
EABI/armel is another story.
