Why not go beyond this and offer the SB2 guts beyond just the CPU
module?  As a drop-in for, say, an integrated amp?  Or powered
speakers.  The OEM would have no software to develop and the device
would be functionally identical to a standard Squeezebox.  You wouldn't
have to worry about cutting into your sales because you'd be selling the
OEM 90% of the SB2 anyway.
