I thought an iPhone charger only provided 500mA?

Sure, an ordinary micro USB car adapter, as long as it can put out at least 750.ma. It's also easy to wire up your own 5V voltage regulator.

New version of xbmc does hd audio bitstreaming, that's why I'm in this thread checking it out. Of course if you are pulling off a dlna server there must be support there too.

I don't know about that. However, I think 500 mA is the threshold for the pi anyway. It all depends on what USB devices you want to try and plug in as they require power too.
