ZXBox is an 48k emulator as a plugin to open source replacement firmware for mp3 players RockBOX ( www.rockbox.org ).
It has recently been submitted to rockbox's cvs.

as for rockbox - you should better ask support at RockBOX's official forums.
zxbox.rock is in .rockbox/viewers directory in your daily build zip file
Thanks for your support. I will try this soon.
Future questions will I asking in the right forum.

Does it merit a mention on WOS's 'Emulators' page, perhaps?
(Too bad that the screen on my media player is only 220x176 pixels, which is just a bit too small to show the Speccy screen at full res.)
