You can try: https://www.ap-linux.com/ instead. I think there is not anything special on Voyager, it is just tweaked to use very little space what is not a problem on that board. You can easily find a CompactFlash card with 64GB, what is a lot more more than you need.

If you have some patience, you can make www.runeaudio.com work on X86 too.

EDIT: if you wanna run mpd exclusively, you may be better with NetBSD. I think you should not have driver problems with those boards nor with the SOtM card.

EDIT: to make mpd work bit perfect you just need to configure it to grab the hardware directly (for instance hw:0,0) and not the software mixer: dmix or pulseaudio. When mpd (or anything) grab the hardware nothing more can play sounds while mpd is playing - unless you are using pro audio cards with several channels.

To find the hardware, using Alsa (i.e):

% aplay -l

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: Generic Analog [Generic Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: Generic Digital [Generic Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


If you want to use (i.e) "Generic Analog", Card 0 Device 0, you should configure mpd to use: hw:0,0.
