Play music with two Alixes. Dual Alix

Someone thought that if two Alixes collaborate on playing a song we could hear better sound from Alix because each Alix do separate jobs, one of Alix playing and decoding and another Alix just delivering PCM signal to DAC and then it will reduce the CPU load of each Alix.
USB memory stick can supplement the lack of physical memory of Alix.

The small amount of memory in Alix is not a issue for most users who are using Alix as music player. But to the user that has the enormous number of music files, it can be a problem to create MPD DB. An USB memory stick can solve this problem if you plug it to Alix.
