I think it's easy to underestimate how much of Logitech's limited and
diminishing software development resources would be required to write
and maintain a plugin for some other company's software. And then there
are the support costs. Slimproto is an open protocol, so it's a perfect
opportunity for a winamp/SB enthusiast with programming skills, but
there doesn't seem to be any flurry of activity on that front. Maybe the
market's is smaller than you think.

Interesting what you find on a search though. I don't think I ever knew
about winamp's SliMP3 plugin before. Looks pretty primitive, but it's
real software.
