Yes, I've used that interface to switch between "on" player instances. 
Once a player is "off" you cannot switch to another player without
turning the previous player back on.  This is the behavior I was
questioning previously.  Again, I think I now understand the behavior
and, for the intended use case (a UI for squeezelite on the same
device), it makes sense.  An independent squeeze controller it is not
and that is fine.

This is why I'm here:  I am preparing to install rPi Zero W based
control panels in some of the walls of my house.  Speakers are built
into the ceilings of multiple rooms and are fed by a whole house audio
amp and multiple rPi/squeezelite/USB-DAC based sources in a different
room.  The NAS with all the music is somewhere on the network and the
LMS is running on the server used to back-up the NAS.  All of this
(except control panels) works now.

Anyway, I really like the idea of appliance-like software for the
control panels.  This is why I started down the rPiZW/piCore/Jivelite
path and PiCorePlayer w/ Jivelite looks like THE solution.  Very
resilient software, very usable UI (high WAF) and I don't need wired
ethernet at each panel.  Pull some power cables, do a little soldering,
print some dual-gang box covers to house everything in the wall, jam it
together and I'm done. ;)

Of course PiCore doesn't yet support the wireless on the rPiZW but that
is nitpicking.  Maybe Beta 9.4? :D

Got you.  Not meant for me.


Thanks for reading my ramblings.
