The server keeps the players apart using the MAC address. "A Media
Access 
Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to
network 
interfaces for communications on the physical network segment."
(Wikipedia) 
The network interfaces of the hardware players have a preset mac
address, I 
believe Logitech uses this range: 00:04:20:xx:xx:xx, you can look yours
up on 
the server under the information screen. 

So if you run multiple instances of squeezeslave with the default mac
address 
(00:00:00:00:00:01), the server has no way of keeping them apart. The
server 
keeps the per-player settings stored according to mac-address.
