nice extra to have.
The slim protocol is documented on the wiki. Go right ahead!

I've contributed enough already IMHO, rather more than average, I'd say.
Don't forget there's a commercial company behind this thing that's just
been sold for a measly 20 million IIRC. They must have some budget for
developing new features. I have my own businesses to run. For now you
and they will have to do with my more or less insightful ideas which may
be worth exactly what you paid for them or just maybe a lot more.
I never built this device I was dreaming of in the newspost below myself
either, but thankfully someone did... ;)

I guess my ideal device would just play network streams that were sent
to it via ethernet. Ethernet in, line out. The software on the
computer would handle everything else.
OK, maybe add a display that can be controlled from the network as
well as a IR receiver that can send command codes back. All
intelligence would reside in the (Linux) server.
I'm just waiting until someone with the means gets the same idea and
builds something affordable.

Peter
