I did not speak about to do the job directly on this low power hardware. I speak about to implement from beginning that the app can be installed on a power hardware somewhere inside the Network and do the job from there to an external squeezeboxserver. For example. The NAS where is running the SBS have to low power to do this, but my joggler have enough power to do it. Or my EEE Box or my EEE PC. Joggler is allways online in the kitchen but have if i am sitting in Living room nothing to do or special during the night he can do the Job. The low powered NAS what have a lot of people is also allways online. Or my EEE PC with 1GB RAM and Atom CPU. At a later point Logitech can do some developement also to let this job doing the Touch or the radio like a etrayz i own or a synology. My suggestion is from beginning to find a way that this app needs not absolute to be stored and working on the same machine like the SBS is located. If you realy think about server client application think about a shared user modell. Like a cluster that the maschines are able to share their power what is necessary like in a cluster. If this application runs as a server the place where the server should be located should be independant. Logitech runs the way to support that 2 radios you can buy are able for stereo. If you have such a combination inside the Network of several squeezeboxes let them realy but together their RAM and CPU Power to help like inside a cluster to do this work together. Something like this in all of honor your developement Erland is a escape from your power consumting plugins. I do not use them like the Ignaz plugin on normal use. if i need i put on my EEEBox that take the Data from my NAS. But to find a way of shared CPU and RAM Power is demonstrate in several projects. This idea will put the project to a much higher level. And such applications are proved over the Internet working anyways to share the power of differend PCs worldwide to help to give a application the necessary power.
