Just a thought...
I have two modified xboxes that I used to run xbmc on. I've abandoned them though because they don't have enough horsepower to decode x.264 video. For myself, I see very little value in using them as squeezebox clients, but if you were so-inclined you can use the current SqueezeCenter and connect to http://server:9000/stream.mp3 from the xbox and treat it as a music stream. You can then control the stream from the web browser or the Duet controller (I think). Ben
