I'm not certain it will work but you might look into the Logitech Media Server http://www.mysqueezebox.com/download with SoftSqueeze clients http://softsqueeze.sourceforge.net/

While intended for use with Squeezebox hardware clients, I suspect you could get an all-software linux client-based synchronized setup working with it. The Squeezebox software is all known for being hackable.

There is some concern about Logitech killing off the Squeezebox ecosystem, but the source for much (all?) of this is available and the community remains active.



Wow, I never heard about squeezebox. Sounds very good! I only want the server to be my linux box. The clients can be whatever. I will probably try both: build my own clients with softsqueeze and order some squeezebox radios as clients and see what happens. Nice! Thanks!
