More good news. Syncing at power on works fine with one additional patch
to the SlimServer source. When players power on, there's a method called
restoreSync() that's called, and that method needs patching to use the
CLI so SyncOptions can do its thing. I've updated the patch file on my
info page and in the new 1.3 zip file. It's about what you'd expect if
you've looked at the older patch:
Code:

Yes, this should work fine. I'm sitting on the couch with my wife, so
my testing has been a SB3 hooked feeding a powered off receiver and
Softsqueeze on a muted laptop, but from what I can see (literally), I
had no problems having Softsqueeze sync up at the 46 minute mark of a
60 minute recording when I powered on Softsqueeze in a "power
seperately" sync grouping with the SB3.
And as of version 1.3, you can actually choose the "attempt mid-song
sync" option. I messed up the web UI validation of that in verison 1.2.
