Would SC's open source licensing preclude binaries built from
proprietary code and encapsulating those APIs and protocols from being
bundled into the server to make those services work without
SqueezeNetwork?  If you can use Rhapsody or Sirius services from a PC,
then why not through SqueezeCenter?

I go back and forth between thinking that SqueezeNetwork is a very
elegant solution to doing these things, and thinking that the whole
system, from Squeezebox to LAN to Internet and all the bits and pieces
in between, is a bit of a Rube Goldberg contraption.
