Okay, I have done a little more research.

To recap, I am trying to implement a system whereby the empeg acts as 'receiver' to play files streamed to it via another machine.

My situation:

I have a large music server with about 4 or 5 times the amount of files that will fit on my empeg. I want to be able to queue the songs from my music server up on some sort of dynamic list that can be added to or taken away from on the fly and have the running order output on the empeg.

I came across EsounD tonight and it looks very promising. A plugin for winamp3 allows you to direct its output to an EsounD daemon. I have compiled the daemon for empeg and after collecting all the required libs I can report that...it runs!

But.

It refuses to bind to any port...

I have tried quiting the player, etc, but no luck. Any ideas?

This promises to be a really sweet solution once I can get it working. Any help/hints/tips are greatly appreciated.
