What's the difference between Xbian's audio and others?

It is more like LFS (Linux From Scratch), each piece has to be updated manually on the development side and it only supports monolithic upgrades.

We are Debian apt based where any package can receive updates at any time, Kodi is just a program like Windows Media Center on Windows. We aren't based on Kodi, sort of the opposite really as we want you to be able to install and run any Linux application that has ARM support. You chose to try XBian at a rare moment where we are suffering through Kodi (XBMC) issues, it isn't our fault streaming broke but it is fixed in the latest update.

It is not possible to use a Bluetooth headset with Kodi, this is a Kodi limitation. Your other issues sound like they may be related to a power supply issue.

Hey there. Thanks for the informative reply. I'm beginning to understand that OpenElec is really a different animal. I think similar(exactly similar?) appearances of the home screens made me think, they are the same thing. While in reality one is like an OS other is a WM image.

Reality of OpenElec just sunk in a few hours ago, when I tried to apt-get alsa-utils and was greeted with a very informative message about why I couldn't do it...

Yes, I've noticed the stream fix. I've been trying to make Xbian work the way I want it to for a few hours(since It looks like I'll be staying with xbian for the foreseeable future).

I think you might be right about the insufficient power supply too. I've been noticing rainbow box for a few days. Just realized what it meant... Swapped the crappy adapter for original Samsung Note adapter. Box is gone now. I'll check tomorrow if it fixed freezing problems for good.

Again thanks for the reply.
Cheers

EDIT: Ahh hell, I was just watching a youtube video and Xbian crashed just when the video ended. And by crashed, I mean "not accepting any input" type of crash. I wonder if it might be an SD card problem. Card is a brand new Sandisk 16GB Class 10. But, who knows? I'll try with a different card and a fresh install tomorrow. I'll also enable logging.
