There you guys go, Mark came up with a good idea;
Multicast audio feeds.
Screw that archaic unicast crap! ;-)
I just spent the whole day troubleshooting PIM problems in a Multicast
network, maybe I'm a bit overzealous =).

I'm writing a review of the Squeezebox. I will

while - I spend a lot of time on reviews.
Anyway, my first question is regarding multiple
Squeezeboxes. The testing I'm doing is a bit hard
for me because I have only one Squeezebox. I'm
doing experiments with a Softsqueeze for my second
Squeezebox.
I notice I can play the two independently, and
that there's a new settings option to synchronize.
Synchronizing obviously reduces SlimServer
workload as only one stream needs to be sent. But
with 2 wireless Squeezeboxes I assume there are
still 2 independent wireless connections eating up
bandwidth.
So what's the limit of the amount of Squeezeboxes
supported by SlimServer? But isn't this limit
higher than the practical limit where you'd reach
your wireless bandwidth limit? Does synchronizing
players help, or do they still have their own
independent wireless connection, i.e. is
SlimServer still sending multiple streams with the
same data or is it sending one stream?
I may have other questions as I write the review.
Thanks.
