I'm not saying that you couldn't make your squeezebox do it, I just wouldn't suggest using X10 for it. X10 should be used for
non-mission
critical applications in my opinion.

It's a radio thing, uses the same channels as car alarms. My neighbor and I have definitely annoyed the hell out of each other, me turning off his alarm, him turning on my lights. I've changed channels a few times, so we don't totally interfere, but it's not perfect by a long shot.
Radio? I thought X-10 was a power line command set? I've been using X-10 to control my Christmas lights and kids nightlights for about 5 years or more. I've never had these problems. Then again, I have a hardwired bridge in my house for the A-B leg jumping.
My kit is a firecracker, so it uses radio to get from the server's serial port to the top of the powerline chain.
So, if not using X-10, how else could I do it?
I'd like to use this as an excuse to buy 2 or 3 more squeezeboxen, but it sounds like I may have to go the regular joe six-pack programmable remote route. Bummer...
