In order to maintain sub-ms clock accuracy, ntp requires significant support from the host operating system, which the squeezeboxen may not have in place. Under linux, there is an entire kernel process devoted to system time, with a corresponding API for slewing the time in a gapless fashion to maintain a highly accurate system time (which is NOT based on the RTC, but the processor clocks while the system is running--the RTC is read/set only on system startup/shutdown). ntp may have impose too much overhead for small embedded devices; not positive though.
