The only way to play music off your Squeezeboxserver (and it truly does
not matter which platform the SBS itself runs on) on any computer-based
client is via the Softsqueeze-etc client software. And support on any
Linux-based system for these "soft" players is pretty much non-existent
these days, which is a shame. I have often stated I would *pay* for a
soft client, and yet it seems to be something that unfortunately is not
a development focus. 

So I think you expect something that was implicitly sold to many of us:
open source, flexibility, soft players... it *should* work. It is a
shame it doesn't quite. Even when you get it to work it will not quite
synch right very often. I have given up for now, shame. I truly think it
a major differentiator for the SB concept that is being neglected.
