Would it be possible to remember a player by its MAC address instead of
its IP address?

I use a mobile to stream music from my SlimServer, but its IP address
is dynamic (from the provider), so each time i make a new data
connection, my IP address is different. So each time, a new player is
created. this is a huge pain, cause i need to set the bitrate-limiter
to a lower bitrate as my bandwidth is too narrow to stream at 320kbps.

If it's not possible, I'd sure like to see an option where you can set
default options for "new" players, including a default playlist or
something, as new players per default come up with an empty playlist,
and need to set one through the web-browser.

So it's all possible right now to play tracks from my server through
UMTS onto my PocketPC, but euhm....  it sure isn't easy.

As a third option, i thought about SSL tunneling, as connecting to an
SSL tunnel would be streaming from the localhost (at both SS and the
PocketPC) and this would eliminate the problem, as SS would only see a
localhost connecting, having only a single player to setup, but: i
can't find any SSL tunneling programs for a PPC.

Anyone any thoughts on this, on any of these options?
