TCP has a connection timeout.  Why not just make that longer. 
Regardless of who initiated the connection, its not like the server
isn't sending packets to the squeezebox all the time.  Except of course
when its doing nothing and nothing is displayed -- which is exactly when
you'd want the connection to timeout.
