Hi Mark :)

*waves*

Yeah, its a BCM2835 Apps Processor: Videocore4 with an ARM11 and, for
the Raspberry Pi, 256MB of SDRAM on top.  For audio you either have
the ARM to play with, or if you can stomach it you can write fragment
shaders to do 2D data processing at much faster speeds.  OpenCL is not
available so it'll be old-fashioned OpenGL shader code, which is a bit
hacky but works:
