I simply added additional check for $type of the stream (aap) and

be there at all but since it is, it might have some other purpose which
I'm not aware of...
This patch should not affect other parts of the code but should enable
you to do bitrate limiting on AACPlus streams.
Have a look at /usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Player/Protocols/HTTP.pm
starting at line 189.
then change this:
Code:
if (defined $command $command eq '-' || $format eq 'mp3') {

If you're smart enough to have a home network, you can do this. That guide is spot on with everything you need to know.

The only small niggle is that there is no easy way to turn an Xbox on via the remote, and I haven't yet trained either of our dogs to push the power button with their noses...Depending on your definition of easy... for about UK£15 one can buy an additional IR receiver which draws a small amount of standby power and will turn the XBox on when it receives a particular remote command. It requires that the lid be removed and some wires be soldered under the motherboard (or, in my case, shoved into the main power connector and taped in place), which is not massively hard to do.

You may have dropout problems. Mine work quite well. The only real drawback for me is their inability to stream from Rhapsody.

If you use wired connections, it makes no difference. But if you stream FLAC or PCM files wirelessly, the small buffer can cause dropouts and other problems.

Your PDA has a very different usage pattern: intermittent, low-bandwidth demand. The SB1 will be constant, intermediate-to-high-bandwidth demand. So this isn't an indication that it will work well - nor is it an indication it won't either. Keep in mind it's also 802.11b, which means if you have an 802.11g router, it will slow the whole network down (although not to 802.11b speeds as popular knowledge would have you believe.)
