Have there been any reports of anyone running squeezeslave on the Chumby
(or in my case the Infocast 3.5)?

I tried both the precompiled arm binaries listed in this thread and
they both fail to find any sound devices.

I tried compiling from the source listed in this thread also but
without success.  The alsa build dies early with a call to patch.  The
oss build goes much further but ultimately dies.

I know none of this info is detailed enough to be any help but my
question really is - is it possible to get squeezeslave working on the
Chumby or is there something fundamental that I'm missing?

I've been mucking around with network audio players since the Netgear
MP101.  My kingdom for a low cost "dumb" client that just boots and
connects to a server for direction.  The infocast chumby is the
cheapest thing I've found that provides wifi and integrated audio.  I
know there's other kludges out there using wireless routers with usb
audio devices but the infocast is small and could be gutted and hidden
fairly easily into a nice set of powered speakers.  I don't care about
an interface at the speaker end, a laptop or smartphone to control
playback would be preferred.

I got my wife a SB radio for Christmas.  After years of upnp servers
and clients the squeezebox approach was a nice change.  Unfortunately
the squeezebox line up doesn't really include an *affordable* dumb
client with no local interface.  The duet receiver (without remote) is
the closest but it's been out of stock on the website for a while and
now is not even listed so it appears that logitech doesn't plan on
making it available.  That leaves a gaping hole in the squeezebox line
in my opinion.

Sorry for the long post.  Am I the only one that just wants a set of
speakers with a damn IP address???
