Hello. A technical question, please: can someone comment on the technical/practical differences between the "streaming" network audio model, as used by Squeezebox and many other commercial devices, compared to a conventional music playback application (such as XMMS/Rhythmbox/Amarok/Aqualung) which accesses music files over a network via NFS or SMB protocol? The latter seems more technically straightforward to me. Is the prevalence and popularity of streaming only because of the ability to have multiple clients, and multiple outputs?
