For what it's worth, I've got two Squeezebox2s and SoftSqueeze on a
1.8Ghz Windows XP machine that synchronize fairly consistently (server
is 6.1 on a 800Mhz FreeBSD machine and network is 100baseT to the
Windows box, 802.11g to the Squeezebox2s for those who care).
The SoftSqueeze does tend to get out of sync more often than the
others.. None of them are perfect all the time.

I've unfortunately never managed to get softsqueeze to sync with my
hardware player. Even over a single track, the sync gets out by at
least a second. I suspect you need a fairly quick pc to run
softsqueeze if you want to do this. Mine is a 1GHz machine running XP,
which is probably not enough. That said, I'm fairly optimistic about
the prospect of syncing two hardware devices.

Just how "synch"ed are synched slims?
They are synced in that each song is buffered and started at the same
time. the accuracy seems to vary a bit depending on the network
topology and, to a lesser extent, the types of players. softsqueeze
synced with hardware players is apparently subject to some higher
latency.
Accuracy would be measured more in fractions of a second than degrees
of phase.
there is an RFE open to base sync on a more accurate network clock, but
I'm don't know when that might be implemented.
