I basically followed 'these instructions'
(http://www.jfwhome.com/2009/11/22/compiling-squeezeplay-on-linux-ubuntu-amd64/)
to compile SqueezePlay on Ubuntu 9.10 on i386/Atom -- but I didn't
replace the portaudio code, I just applied a really small, simple
patch. The patch I applied is available at
http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/squeezeplay/ (jwfhome.diff.txt), as are
compiled binaries for i386 Linux. I haven't actually tested the latest
builds, but they built without error. r8679 is the same Subversion
version as the SB Touch firmware for Squeezebox Server 7.5.0. Note you
may need to remove PulseAudio from Ubuntu to get sound working -- there
seems to be some problem with SqueezePlay + portaudio (used in
SqueezePlay) + Ubuntu's PulseAudio software. I tried a wee bit to
resolve that and gave up -- I only ever used SqueezePlay for
controlling and debugging/developing, and having working audio with
SqueezePlay isn't a big deal for me. 

Frankly I don't see the appeal of PulseAudio. As recently as Ubuntu
9.10, it only adds features I couldn't care less about (remote sound
servers -- who cares), and causes problems with apps I care about
(SqueezePlay, Skype). It has nicer config GUIs that are actually less
useful than the old alsa config -- for instance, you can only tweak
PulseAudio settings for an app if that app is running & using the sound
device. But it's not the first or last bad idea that Ubuntu had -- have
you seen 'how they moved the window close/minimize/maximize buttons for
10.04' (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/23899/)? It's *terrible*.
