OK, I need some guidance here. After looking at various X10 modules, it
seems to me that in order to arrange for powered speakers to be switched
on/off along with the Squeezebox Receiver, I'll need:

1. A Firecracker, which converts serial signals to RF.
2. A SqueezeCenter plugin that controls the Firecracker driver
software. (BottleRocket is for Unix/Linux, right? I presume there's a
Windows equivalent?)
3. An X10 RF Base, to receive the RF instructions.
4. An X10 appliance module, to actually switch the mains power.

Have I misunderstood? Can the Firecracker directly control the
appliance module without the need for the RF base?
Or am I completely off-base here (and if I am please could you explain
exactly what X10 components would be required?)
