There is a confirmed working openelec build here:

that may be worth trying.

Yes, that is great. Working fine.
HifiBerry is sounding better than my USB DAC. Somehow passthrough isn't available. (Hifiberry DAC Analog)
And I would recommend setting gpu_mem=256 in config.txt.

So why isn't it recognized in Raspbmc yet.
In my quest I id a rpi-update which brought a new kernel (3.10.32). That made the Hifiberry show up in aplay -l, but still not showing up in XBMC.

The new kernel also brought a regression, a stutter in all videos played (streams and various files) every few seconds. In DVDplayer not in OMXplayer. Small but very noticeable. An `out of sync message` in debug-log.

Very annoying, so I went back to a fresh install of Raspbmc, which is kind of nasty in NOOBS, because you have to reinstall every OS.

What module do we need in the default 3.10.24 kernel to get HifiBerry working for mpd and aplay, and what do we need to make it show up in XBMC? I won't recommend an rpi-update for the kernel at the moment in a default install.

BTW the OpenElec works fine with Hifiberry, no stuttering.
