So if i get this correctly I'd buy a chromecast audio for Eur30 connect
it to speakers (haven't got any yet, maybe any old radio with a linein
would do?), then I'd install the googlecast plugin on my LMS on my NAS
and then chromecast would act as a SB and would appear in, say, Squeeze
Ctrl etc. I do not need to recompile or program anything. No Google
account is needed.
The same process would be applicable to any other upnp player or to
airplay devices (I don't really know what an airplay device is, is it an
ipad or something produced FOR an ipad?)

@Michi: Hm, 100Eur is still a lot of money...
@Michael: I wouldn't know how to change the firmware of an UE
SmartRadio, it seems to be identical to the SB Radio apart from the
software.
@Apesbrain: Yes I have been thinking about sth like this too, especially
as it will enable me to make use of the excellent BeyondPod App the
comfort of which is superior to LMS's handling of podcasts...
