Fair suggestion, but I really hesitate to do this (Hugh's a friend and
is looking at this for me).

First, I have several Squeezeboxes, and would like to be able to use
any unit anywhere.  (Only some require this; those that are hooked up
directly to A/V systems don't need this.)

Second, this would almost certainly void any warentee from Slim
Devices.  They may not necessarily mind having folks open things up to
check seating, perhaps swap a display.  But modify the circuitry?  Hard
to imagine continuing hardware support in that situation ...

What I'd really like is some sort of "dry contact" type closure.  If
the unit is "on", allow me to sense that via continuity across two
pins.  If the unit is "off", continuity is lost.  If I had that, I
could use a standard Power Controller (relay based power), and be done
with it.  No circuitry required beyond what I've already got
(commercially available).
