Just got this the other day and only now had time to try it.

The first point is that the '03' option in the NEON build options is wrong (as
reported previously) so needs to be removed.
try deleting the CMakeCache.txt and ccmakeing again - I tried this on my Pi2 (will try the 3 later) and it worked so I think there may be switches that dissalow 03 in other parts?

After that it built without problems.

First time startup was astonishingly fast but failed to find any roots/banks.
OK, I hadn't installed it and was running from userspace, but still it should
have found the set of banks in there.

The HDMI adaptor I have has audio out so I tried that, and got extremely
distorted sound that soon faded out completely - don't yet know why.
Try your TV!

Next I tried my KA6 usb module. This worked and produced very smooth sound but
rapidly ran into Xruns. Going round the available ports and restarting didn't
seem to make any difference.
I use a £5 guitar-link thing. Its only CD quality but then no-one has ever been able to tell the difference between 16bit unencoded and higher in double blind tests!

I tried removing the pulseaudio server. I find that's often a source of
problems, but this time it made no difference.

All-in-all this is rather disappointing. I haven't got time to investigate
further at the moment - with a release coming up, but will remove the '03' from
the default build options, and if anyone can suggest other options to set, I'll
give them a quick try.

P.S.
I was working with a period size of 256 frames and 3 periods/buffer @ 48k.
