I'm using my Zaurus to play oggs right now... tkcplayer($10, ugghhh)
runs like a charm, and uses next to no battery.  So far, 3 hours
continuous playback off an SD card and the battery meter hasn't moved.
No, it's not plugged in. *8^) 

Haven't found random playlist yet.  Got to admit, I haven't had time 
to look.  Sad isn't it?

Playing oggs encoded at approx bitrate of 96.  Sounds pretty good.
Definite improvement over the radio in the jeep at 65mph with no top on.

Although, technically, this is not hardware playback...
