I'm not 100% sure if this will work in your situation and if it will
provide the behaviour you desire, but here goes.
My server had a 10/100 NIC on board, and I added a 1000 NIC for backup
purposes. I initially disabled the on board NIC, but during a night of
surfing I came accross Ifenslave. Basically it allows you to combine -
or bond - multiple network interfaces into one, and present it to the
network environment as a single adapter.
In my case, I have 2 wired interfaces, if I pull one wire out of the
switch, the other takes over. When I plug the other back in it joins the
bond again and picks up where it left off.
After reading your post, I started to wonder if this would work in your
situation as well, and after doing a little Googling, it seems it may.
Provided Ifenslave is available for your platform.
I'm by no means an expert on this, but I can provide you with some
links I used in the process:
http://blog.buttermountain.co.uk/2007/09/14/redundant-bonding-of-wireless-and-wired-interfaces-in-ubuntu/
Found this after reading your post, it describes combining a wired and
wireless interface into a bond.

Extended documentation on Ifenslave.

Basic setup on Ubuntu, mine is pretty similar.

The document I originally used to set mine up.
As said, I am not sure if this will work for you, but if it does, then
it should be able to do what you need it to. Only thing I was not sure
about from your post is the way you connected your SqueezeBox to the
network you described, nor have I tried connecting a SqueezeBox to both
a wired and a wireless interface.
Anyway, hope this helps you some.
