How will you tell the pCP to send the Wake on LAN magic packet ? The Squeezebox players all need a "power on" command either from their remote or the screen (in the case of the Touch) before they will send the magic packet, the pi Core Player doesn't have a remote. Also, the Squeezebox players never really power down, they keep the network interface up while they have power connected. With the pCP, after powering on once network connection is established, it could be part of the start up , but that would mean disconnecting and re-connecting the power to the Raspberry Pi case, fiddly at best. Also, the pCP would have to "remember" the server it was connected to when it was powered down. I use WOL from my Squeezebox players to wake up my VortexBox server and have puzzled over how this key function could be easily applied to the RPi based players.
