Hi Greg,
The sound quality when using the Pi is audibly inferior to a standard
Squeezebox, even through cheap PC speakers and that is when only running
the Squeezeslave software (I think also I tried Squeezelite some time
ago). I did a little searching at the time and I believe it is
considerably improved when using the specific USB audio cards, but this
was a while back, so I suggest you do a bit of digging. When running
'motion' this resulted in a background click every second and additional
white noise and the playback speed seemed marginally slower than it
should have been. 
When I first started considering running the Pi as a Squeezebox I soon
discounted the idea once I realised I needed to invest more money for
basic sound quality, I simply bought another SB3 on ebay for very
little. 
I also tried running the Pi as a Squeezeserver and it was painfully
slow, unfortunately.

I hope that helps,
Cheers,
Foggy
