So I've set up a Raspberry pi with PiCore, and it boots fine and offers
a web page, which I was able to use to configure SqueezeLite to talk to
my custom squeeze server. Kudos, this seems like a well-thought-out web
interface.

I wasn't shocked to discover SqueezeLite and my server don't agree on
the slim protocol - my server was written for version 81 of the
squeezebox software, years ago, and of course things have changed.

The first obstacle is that squeezelite expects to see a command sent to
it from the server every ~30 seconds, or it disconnects. My server
doesn't send anything periodically (and the original Classic was fine
with that); and it's not obvious what I should send - I could do a hack
like sending the volume over and over, but that can't be what's
intended. The squeezelite code isn't particularly commented. I can
slowly slog through the trial and error of "just keep trying stuff" but
I'm hoping I can approach this more cleverly. What I probably need is
the ability to contact the author and pester him with questions, but I
don't know how.

What's my best resource for figuring out what I need to change? My goal
is to change only my server. I haven't found (helpful) documentation;
does anyone have experience with the slim protocol? If I should be
asking somewhere else, where? Any help welcome.
