I really like your idea of incorporating an audio driver to redirect
the sound output to the SB.   Currently there is as product that just
does this alone, the Linksys Wireless Music Bridge.   I have one, and
rarely use it anymore.    But to redirect higher quality Yahoo
Music(aka MusicMatch), which I subscribe, I need to still use this.  If
the SB had a similar driver to redirect the soundcard output -- I could
consolidate this last piece.   Yahoo Music is built around protected
WMA -- so it doesnt work natively with the SB/slimserver.   Obviously
this would have many other potential uses, to get around protected
streams such as Dolby AAC with AOL music for instance.
