Why don't you just turn the SqueezeBox off?  If it's synced with another
player, the other player will carry on (unless you've also chosen to
sync power state).  If it's not synced, then it will just resume in the
same position when you turn it back on.  In other words, when not synced
off=mute/stop, when synced off=mute.
