Just a thought... but now Logitech owns Slim Devices they might have more clout.
Several well known hi-fi manufacturers make some pretty decent all-in-one units, eg Denon, Arcam (the Solo), as well as some of the cheaper HTIB (Home Theatre In a Box) systems. I'd propose that it's worth Slim/Logitech approaching these companies with a view to building Squeezebox client functionality into these devices. It shouldn't add much to the cost - all these units already have a VFD and MP3 decoding hardware. That way SB can integrate totally into the living room hi-fi without any need for extra boxes. Philips do something similar with the Streamium system, but this uses a proprietary protocol. The SlimServer protocol is open and documented, and adoption of this wouldn't tie you to one make of hi-fi throughout the house.
