I've thought for a while now that essentially what you are describing, along 
with a basic display -- which I'm assuming your idea implies -- tied to an 
RX320 or a Softrock Ensemble RX would make an excellent compact and 
inexpensive stand-alone general coverage receiver. It would seem (based on my 
limited knowledge of the Pi) that rotary encoders could be easily interfaced 
with the Pi for "knobs". My hunch is that folks are already playing with this 
concept and I just haven't run across mention of it yet.
