Indeed, if I was going to have a "computer controlling sound output,"
with a central "house amp" and speakers going to each room (this is the
way a lot of "central sound" stuff was installed not very long ago), I
wouldn't use slimserver and certainly not softsqueeze.  (It's not that
I hate Java... it's that I don't have the strongest trust in actual
java implementations -- they're always buggy and odd issues keep coming
up.  It's the implementations, not the language, though.)

The loss of the neato cool display (no, I don't want to use my TV to
control audio -- as I said, I play ps2 games a lot, and want my own
music, not the game, and switching channels to queue stuff up isn't an
option), the loss of remote (mouse? no thanks, i barely have room for
the ps2 keyboard on my coffee table and nowhere to put a mouse in the
bedroom), the loss of independence (i don't always have the same music
playing in the bedroom as the livingroom)...

Replacing a small SB display (which has a very very nice and easy to
use UI) with a display, a mouse and a keyboard is backwards.  I want
-easy- and -small-.
