This may be a long shot but if you don't ask you don't get... I have several old laptops lying around at home, mostly useless for real work but easily capable of decoding an internet radio stream, especially if this can be done without the overhead of the GUI. Is it possible to run a Softsqueeze client on a GUI free minimum system?
Simply the idea was to have a tired old laptop in the kitchen, hidden somewhere, that boots (to SuSE Linux 10.0 if that matters) on LAN, auto-starts a SoftSqueeze-like client that does what it's told by Slimserver, and the computer shuts down when the server turns the client off. This way I have another room with its own radio, no extra clutter, and reusing an otherwise dead piece of hardware. The only bit that's missing from this is the SoftSqueeze client that can run without a GUI. Does such a thing exist, or could it be put together with a reasonable amount of work? I know a fair bit about Linux, computers in general, a bit about Perl but little about Slimserver and Softsqueeze. Any ideas? Crazy or possible?
