WE use case 2. problem is, a network disturbance still causes problems., ie unplug network cable, song stops. Would be nice if the current song would at least keep playing, this would allow you to close and reopen rdairplay for example if you needed to change a setting. I also have experienced problems during large file transfers, and am not totally sure wether it is network or disk bandwidth that is the bottleneck, though I'm leaning toward disk, since it is a gigabit network, with only Rivendell machines on that switch.
