This whole thing brings up an interesting thing from my office. When they put in wiring for wireless access points, they put 2 ethernet jacks next to each AP. I figured one was for the signal, and they were goind to run power through the other one. But when they were done, each one only had a single wire. This is clearly the technology used.

POTS systems, if I'm not mistaken sent 48V down those skinny wires to
ring your phone. Surely those two unused ethernet wires could handle 5
lousy volts at 2 amps.
Some adventurous soul could patch into the cable going to the
squeezebox and connect the exisiting transformer to the cable (with
some diodes or something to keep the current from running back into the
switch/router). Then, a little soldering in the SqueezeBox to patch the
two powered ethernet wires to the point where power normally connects
to the board. Someone could. But not me. :-)
