The part that interests me the most is having a 'default' (master)
player from which all new players will take their settings, as per 'bug
726' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=726).

Could this really be done as a plugin?

A couple of thoughts:

It would be desirable to have different defaults for different types of
players.  Hardware vs. software, or possibly 'local' (on the local
subnet) and 'remote' players.  New software/remote players will nearly
always be connecting across the Internet over a connection that can't
sustain a lossless stream.  As it stands currently, when I connect to
the server remotely using a software player from a new IP address I
can't even listen to music until I go in and set a bitrate limit for
the new player.

One important need is to be able to view, edit and delete settings for
all known players, whether or or not they're connected to the server. 
This is 'bug 429' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429). 
Right now, for instance, there's no way to delete orphaned players,
other than to stop the server and carefully edit the prefs file.
