It would perform identical to Shavez's Opal port, which I believe has not been well received on standard ELF units, thus the lite version.
As for Audio Booster. It works fine. It only works when a headset is plugged in. It's just a a software equalizer, which I generally don't like anyway.
I have also found a few things I don't like:
popup font too large (same as Shavez's Opal port)
System Status is annoying (don't really care for this feature)
Voice Commander has pros and cons (it's slow to start, but works without voice tags)
JBlend (no full screen Java like JBed)
I agree with you on ALL points.
