SqueezeNetwork does not care which version of SqueezeCenter is being

I am not a MusicIP user, and am not familiar with these issues. We have
people in our community who use MusicIP and are happy to fix bugs in
this area. Please file bugs on these issues -- that will alert them and
make it more likely that these will get fixed.
