andy...  he raises a very interesting question...

is it possible to have the SB2 log all its dropouts?  meaning, i think
it would be very useful for the SB2 to be aware of and create a log of
(back at the server) any instance it stops playing music and why if the
user did not initiate the stoppage.

here's what i'm getting at:

i still to this day occasionally have issues with internet stations for
no known reason.  the wireless laptop has no issue, but the SB2 does. 
and this is in spite of the fact its in proxy mode, it has 30 second
buffers set, etc...

if i try to use non-proxy mode or SN, its even less robust.  i'm not
saying it never works, i'm just saying its never safe to assume it will
always work under any scenario.  (and by that i mean whatever given
configuration, vs the benchmark of a laptop using winamp, that almost
always seems to work for me)

such a logging feature might spotlight how often the issue arises,
track the buffer fullness, and give some indication of just what caused
the music to stop.  wireless problems?  SC not getting data from the
stream?  etc...  there has to be an obvious local failure that explains
the actual stoppage, that would hopefully in turn point to the cause of
the stoppage.
