Now this is fantastic news.  My main interest in SqueezePlay is to be
able to use the same interface on my desktop as I use in the lounge
room.

I'm not terribly interested in the GUI stuff, though it does look
slick.  My main interest would be having a headless, standalone
playback engine, then use the web interface to control it.

I have a couple of preferred requirements though:
* Play nice with sound servers (like PulseAudio being used with the
next Ubuntu release) so that other apps can still generate sound
* Synchronization -- PulseAudio apparently does good latency
measurement, so this should be achievable.  I've had little success
with the other playback engines this way.
* Integration with GNOME so that I can use the multimedia keys on my
keyboard.  I said I wanted to control it via the web, but I find these
keys really useful.  At the least I want pause/play, but ideally also
track skip/rewind.

Look forward to seeing and testing this!
