With Linux, it may not be necessary to strip out everything that's not necessary, as it is possible to inspect the individual trees (i.e. read source code). However, if one is just trying to play music most of what's needed in a general purpose operating system is not necessary for audio playback. With open source it would be much easier to integrate the approach I suggested into the existing system and preserve a decent user interface without degrading sonic playback than with a COTS system such as Windows.
I have some experience actually building these kinds of things. The biggest problem would appear to be figuring out how the sound card actually works, given the probable lack of adequate documentation. This could take a long time, especially if one has to get involved with FPGAs and firmware.
