You say it's multi-source, but it sounds like a Squeezebox-only setup,
right? If so, then your Audiosource plan sounds fine. Most of us would
recommend that you put each Receiver and amp in the same room as the
speakers -- long digital ethernet runs, short speaker cables. If you
want the ability to play multiple sources, then you could look at a
multizone receiver (Aesculus has a plugin for more expensive
ethernet-equipped Denon amps; I have an alpha-quality one for cheaper
RS232-equipped Denon amps; both allow Controllers to set the amp volume,
turn the amp off, etc.), or having a receiver/preamp feed an audio input
on your SqueezeCenter host so you could stream miscellaneous audio
sources as 320k MP3.

AllQuiet won't help you if all you have are Duets/Receivers, as it
currently is only usable with IR-equipped players (Classic, Boom,
Transporter). If all your players are synced, then the Pause button is
good enough. :-) Otherwise I could write a Controller/SqueezePlay
interface for AllQuiet and you'd have to do something like Home > scroll
to All Quiet > press center button. Would that be worthwhile for you?
Another option that I could work up pretty easily would be letting you
customize what happens when you press the button on the front of a
Receiver, so pressing the button on any Squeezebox Receiver would
silence all the Squeezeboxes.
