There aren't that many decent digital iPod docks on the market. Best I
have come across is an Onkyo DS A5 but its well pricey!

That depends on what you consider well pricey.
The Squeezebox Touch retailed around the £200 (UK) mark. The Onkyo can
be got for £140.
If you already own an iDevice you can add around a tenner for iPeng and
the playback, and you're there for £150 - £50 less than a Touch (was).
Plus you have

I've heard good things about using an iDevice with iPeng and the Pure
i-20 dock ( $100) which serves as both a DAC with analog outs or using
its digital output to your own DAC -- both options better than just
using the iDevice headphone output.

is of far less concern than that of ongoing dev and support of LMS.
The question I have is whether LMS can ultimately be supported and
improved upon by an open source community... Is there anything

Bit perfect works with iPeng but depending on the dock hardware you use,
you might have to set the volume to 100%
It's also limited to a maximum of 48kHz/24bit except on iPad when using
the camera connection kit in which case you can go up to 96/24.
A few people have done the full round trip

Sad news indeed. Fortunately Squeezebox server will live on, and I
imagine, someone could buy the rights... but I am also reminded of all
the pro-Logitech zealots at this time... I TOLD YOU SO!

Are you sure there are any patents ?
There are trademarks and code/binaries which isn't available for
redistribution but I'm not sure there are any patents.

These devices already will play mp3 files, so such a product already
exists.

That page is about running Squeezeslave on a Pi. Squeezeslave is a very
different beast to Squeezelite, and is pretty much EOL. It doesn't look
like there is going to be any further work on Squeezeslave.
From someone who has usually has checked his facts I heard this awful
rumour that Logitech is abandoning Squeezebox. The SB Touches are slowly
selling out, and may be impossible to find (in Holland) within a few
months.
