yes, been busy lately with hardly any time left for volumio, other than helping with the upcoming release.
There "should" be no issue with a touch screen LCD and volumio on a Pine64, I tested it quickly.
I have not connected a touch screen to the Pine64 myself, but a 1080p monitor works out-of-the-box.
To verify, I connected to a 1080p TV monitor, installed touch screen plugin for the PI which works well with many other touch panels or monitor devices.
Plugin installation takes approx. 10 minutes to complete, then enable the plugin et voilà.
For installation of a touch screen, follow the instructions elsewhere on this forum, then install the plugin.
In case you use a monitor, you should change the setup to avoid problems when the monitor going into sleep mode.
Otherwise you would need a mouse or keyboard to re-active. Hiding the cursor (if present) should also be part of that change.
1. remove time-out on kiosk mode: edit /opt/volumiokiosk.sh:
Change line #1, replace "+dpms" by "-dpms"
Change line #2, replace "blank" by "off"
Remove line #3
2. hide the mouse after inactivity: install unclutter
sudo apt-get install unclutter
3. Add this line to the end of /etc/xdg/openbox/autostart to remove the cursor:
@unclutter -idle 0
For the DAC to work, you need a new Pine64 volumio version, which I hope to publish as a dev version sometime next week.
It will only support RCA output. no S/PDIF due to driver issues.

Took me a long time to get around to this! However the Pine64 Touchscreen does not work with the latest Volumio (the only one I tested, volumio-2.383). Without the screen connected I logged in, enabled TouchScreen Plugin, shutdown, installed screen physically and.. wont boot. Cannot even access the device over IP and the red light eventually goes out.
Disconnect screen (just touchscreen cable even) and it will boot.
Tried the "Android 6.0.1 with LCD" build in PINE64 Installer and the screen & touch are working fine. There is some problem with Volumio + Touch & Screen. Any ideas?
