That page is about running Squeezeslave on a Pi. Squeezeslave is a very
different beast to Squeezelite, and is pretty much EOL. It doesn't look
like there is going to be any further work on Squeezeslave. Squeezelite
is clearly the future for roll-your-own players in the Squeezebox
world.

I got a page not found. However, I am vaguely aware of the Squeezeplug
project and I've seen posting from its creator in the Squeezelite
thread, so he is clearly looking at incorporating it. As far as I am
aware, Squeezeplug is a project aimed more at the server side of things.
I all you want is a player, you're better off putting just Squeezelite
on a machine.

It is very easy. Run the armv6hf distribution of Raspbian Wheezy
(downloadable from the Pi foundation), add Triode's armv6hf build of
Squeezelite, and you're done. Plug in a USB DAC and with luck you should
find that it is recognised by the Pi and made available to Squeezelite -
at least that's what happened when I added a DAC based on the PCM2704
chip. Triode has reported that some people have had issues with some USB
DACs, so it may not be completely plain sailing in some cases.
