OK, I take back my earlier comments then.  As you can see, support for
Internet streaming is not all that advanced yet.  Yes, there's no
mention that it's designed for a firewalled LAN...but there's no
mention it supports Internet streaming either.  In fact, the RIAA may
have a word or two to say about that.  But all the discussion is
surrounding how SlimServer controls *your* players, so a LAN is
certainly implied.  In fact the diagram 'here'
(http://www.slimdevices.com/images/connectiondiagram.gif) pretty
clearly shows it on the LAN - there isn't even a WAN connection drawn.

If you are proficient in Perl, certainly, your assistance would be
appreciated.  I'm trying to learn it so I can contribute in some way,
however small.

Most people who have the knowledge to do so use SSH to stream remotely
with SlimServer.  That makes it impossible for even permitted remote
hardware players to connect though.  Software players only.

BTW I don't know if you tried any of the streams Google found, but none
of them work in my Squeezebox3. ;-)  I realize that's not because of
some hidden security feature but probably due to bandwidth
restrictions.
