My guess: DRM. Sending an stream of decrypted audio over a wire or 802.11 interface is probably a no-no. Sending it over a proprietary encrypted 2.4G microwave connection is probably okay. Sonos doesn't use standard 802.11 for their network, they use their own transport layer. For some applications (ie, appeasing the silly music companies), this can be an advantage. For "polluting 2.4G even more than my neighbors" this is a drawback. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43155 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
