Squeezebox

[Dan Sully]

Well, mine is in my hot little hands. Well, in my stereo rack now.. =)

Wireless setup was flawless. Found my AP, DHCP server & SlimServer right away.

I just checked in a change to convert.conf to have ogg & flac be decoded to
PCM (and not into mp3) for the Squeezebox. FLAC over wireless is working great.

Cranking out some new Chemical Brothers now - no drop outs, fantastic sound.

I'm using the digital coax right now.

Thank you for the almost non-existant power brick.

Thats great to hear. I just read with a little trepidation in
the hardware specs (http://slimdevices.com/pi_specs.html):

"10/100 switched ethernet is recommended for PCM streaming"

By my calculations, 16/44.1 PCM audio is on the order of
170 kbytes/second =~ 1.3 Mbits/sec which ought to stream fine
even over my crappy wireless network. I'm relieved to know it
works properly for you.

yes, if you neighbors ever get sick of your music they can jam your
wireless or send their own audio to the box. ;)
