hey dev-team! awesome job on xbmc - (i'm loving it!)...
my feature request:
-ability to play music/mp3s/wma/etc while gaming

can this even be acheived? can xbmc run behind a game, much like the evox dashboard does to enable its new igr (in game reset)?

perhaps, while in game, to change the song you would have to hold a sequence of buttons and use the "back"/"start" button to cycle through the music.

if you need any funding for this project, please, let me know! i would pay to see this one - well, i would pay to keep xbmc developping in general!

the reason this is impossible is that the xbox has no operating system which would share the processor/resources between programs. writing a new one is impossible because all games assume they have unrestricted, complete, and unshared access to xbox hardware and resources.
