Taking the question one step further: 

As the Touch can de-crypt the Spotify stream locally (and therefore
isn't dependent on running through a SqueezeServer Spotify plugin on a
NAS/PC for the purpose) and can, as far as I understand, stream
(synchronized or independent streams) to other Squeezebox devices
(think the official recommendation is up to 2 other devices, and not
the oldest versions)........is it safe to then assume the Touch also
does stream Spotify to other devices?

My gut feeling is that there is some kind of catch, like "no,
synchronising the de-crypted stream to other devices would violate the
Spotify agreement...yes, even though it's possible to do the same thing
through SqueezeServer on a PC/NAS" ;)

The reason I ask is that since iPads and iPhones entered my household,
the only reason for having my PC running 24/7 is to be able to run
Spotify on my Duet, and to me that is just stupidity in multiple
dimensions. So I seriously consider replacing the Duet with a Touch,
and this question is to be able to decide if I should get rid of the
Duet or keep it and use it to expand the system.
(I'll probably also get a Radio at some time in the future to use
outdoors during summer, and it would be really nice to have the Spotify
stream synced out- and indoors.

Cheers!
