So I was reading about this new D-Link player that supports Windows
Media Connect, and the WMC stuff actually looks a) kinda nifty, and b)
pretty obviously the future de facto standard for media devices
interfacing with Windows.

SlimServer is a great piece of software (especially in its
no-longer-super-buggy 6.01 incarnation), and I suspect that even if I
had WMC available, I'd continue to use SlimServer; but I'm wondering
(out of idle curiosity, more or less) if the Squeezebox 2 would be able
to become a WMC device with a firmware upgrade.  Obviously, it's not
impossible to support WMC in a Squeezebox-esque device, as Roku does it
now -- but is there a special WMA-supporting DSP chip you need to put
in, or can you just do something like that in the kind of hardware the
SB2 has available to it?
