Then, two nights ago I decided to give MusicMagicMixer a try. I
installed it successfully, but when I tried to run it I got an error
message indicating I needed to set the JAVA_HOME environment. I did that
by creating the file /etc/profile.d/java.sh:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_07
export J2RE_HOME=$JAVA_HOME
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$J2RE_HOME/bin:$PATH

Now MusicMagicMixer works great, but SoftSqueeze is back to what appears to be its earlier behavior - the program loads, I can use the on-screen remote to select music, both the softsqueeze display and the web UI show that a song is playing, but I get nothing but silence. And the display goes blank when I turn off SoftSqueeze. This is true both when I run Softsqueeze from a command prompt and when I run it in the web applet.

I suspect this is operator error -- probably related to the /etc/profile.d/java.sh file? -- but I can't sort it out. (I tried moving the java.sh file and rebooting -- that broke MusicMagicMixer but it didn't get Softsqueeze back.) Any help?

Do you have more than one version of Java installed on your machine? One way to find out would be to run 'locate bin/java'. If you do, try changing the path of JAVA_HOME to the other version of Java.

Over the weekend I have made some native installers for Softsqueeze. I am uploaded them to sourceforge at the moment. Instead of using Java Web Start you could try the linux rpm that includes an embeded version of the Java.
