Ok, I'm currently running csound live on a P4 mobile 1.6GHz. Let's call this soft synth index 100. What would you estimate the index of GP2X to be? Just a serious, guess, I'm not gonna come after you if your wrong :-)
I'd give it between 40 - 60, depending on what you're doing in CSound ..
Secondly, would there be any problems (if so which and could they be solved) in getting 1) csound, 2) ams and 3) zynadsubfx running on these things?
CSound: a cynch. ams or zynadsubfx, a bit trickier as it has GUI requirements: the GP2X does not have X, or a Window manager (though these have been ported..)
Any softsynth that supports a 'server' mode and a 'GUI command app' separation can be ported and expected to run 'okay' on the GP2X .. I know of a synth author who has his text-mode "daemon-style" synth engine running in the background on the GP2X in such a way that it is controlled with OSC messages being fired by an SDL app in the foreground, for example .. or you can use gp2xPd for the interface to such a synth daemon, also.
