Yes, that is quite bizarre. It should not be even seeing your LAN traffic!
So it looks like it's doing something upstream to your Linksys router. What that would be...hard to say. Does this behaviour happen when your router is isolated from the voice adapter? Unplug it from the voice adapter. If it still does this, we can limit our investigation to just the router and the voice adapter is a red herring. Can you play music on your Squeezebox from your SlimServer? I've never used a packet sniffer before, but this might be a situation where it comes in handy.
