Linux users may be interested in a small headless client I've been
working on called Squeezelite.  It's scope is constrained to offering a
headless (Squeezeslave like) player which runs on linux desktops and
potentially small linux devices using alsa for audio output.  

It should support the following:
- headless playback
- gapless (not mp3), high res support, direct streaming support (works
with my Spotify plugin)
- flac, mp3 and pcm (wav/aiff) playback; flac/mp3 require libFLAC and
libmad to be separately installed
- usb dacs with support for direct playback to the hardware device
(supports S24_3LE output format)
- sync (not proven at present)
- tunable buffer sizes
- ability to disable codecs (if you like to only use wav, then only
enable pcm and libFLAC, libmad will not be loaded)

The code is opensource (GPLv3) and available here:
http://code.google.com/p/squeezelite/
At present this is only really a test version, but I've put a 32 bit
binary on the download page which people may like to try.

To run:

Code:
--------------------
    
  ./squeezelite -? - lists options
  ./squeezelite -o hw:CARD=MDAC  - starts with alsa device: hw:CARD=MDAC used 
as the output (this is an example usb audio dac)
