 Slimp3slave is a command line client using the old udp protocol:
 http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/slimp3slave/.  Slimserver has a newer TCP
 based protocol as well, but there isn't a C client yet.  (Slimserver
 itself is a GPL'd perl program, so a C client for the new protocol isn't
 hard, it just hasn't been done yet.)

Of course it would be possible to run Slimp3slave, but consider
that this would only for slimdevice owner
http://www.slimdevices.com/

So IMHO it would be more interesting (for more people) to have a 
free server like icecast and use this to a GUI frontend player

And to have the total freedom - the songs could be on PC A,
the soundcard on PC B and the Neo1973 would controll to play
this songs.

 Even cooler would be adding a remote control interface to slimserver
 that runs on the phone.  You pull out the phone and start controlling
 the music coming out of your speakers.  We have two slimserver clients
 in our apartment: it could use GPS to figure out which one is closest,
 and connect to that one to change the volume, switch songs, or whatever.

Yes this would be cool, but until I haven't saw it with my own eyes,
I would not expect GPS accuracy 10m indoor.

Greetings,
