Could the firmware just reset the system periodically during idle time,
or does it require an electrical cycling?  There's no easy way to simply
reboot a Squeezebox, so it's likely nobody has ever tried that as a fix,
the first reaction being to yank it out of the wall.

The only time you wouldn't be able to get away with it would be when
playing tracks back to back, so that gapless playback isn't affected. 
If someone zaps it in the middle of playing, it's probably going to be
a lot more obvious what happened and they'll be more careful next time.
