Yes, very much so, I have 3 of them. Two I use as controllers for
squeezebox receivers, and the third I use the actual device audio output
into a pair of powered speakers.
I use the squeezeplay build from here:
http://birdslikewires.co.uk/articles/squeezeplay-for-joggler
on an Ubuntu build from here: http://joggler.exotica.org.uk/ubuntu/
I've also modified them to run the OS on an internal SD card, as
described here:

looks much nicer and leaves the USB socket free to plug in a keyboard
for the odd times that you need one.
