VMware does seem a tad excessive...

I can do what I want with mpg123 easily enough by simply setting the
output device to /dev/audio0, /dev/audio1, /dev/audio2 etc. And of
course SoftSqueeze or slimp3slave will output to a specific audio
device.

The problem (at least until I set something up to test this) is that
SlimServer seems to recognise each player (SliMP3, Squeezebox,
Transporter or whatever) by its MAC address. So how would it cope with
multiple output devices on the same MAC address?

Might just try running two copies of SoftSqueeze on my desktop PC and
see if that'll work. If it does then no problem. Was just wondering if
anyone had tried this before I spend ages messing with it.

Had thought about just using an amplifier with multiple speaker outputs
but I've ruled that out. I need to be able to control the volume
independently in all zones for starters. And I may not want the same
music playing at all locations.
