This is pretty cool. I’m guessing it can be programmed to act as a USB midi host? That might be worth the entry price alone.

There is no USB host port so my guess would be that it can’t.

Well, I noticed it right away, but without at least an USB host port it’s simply not for me, too. A Blokas PiSound + Raspi already fills all my needs in that area.
