OK, so time has come to really sort out the house system. I'm not entirely up to date with the state of the various client/server combinations, so I would welcome any recommendations/views/comments you might have. Here is my requirement/wish list:

- server *must* be Linux/*BSD-based
- there are web tablets or computers in all rooms with Receivers, so use from Receiver user interface is a secondary concern
- ability to syncronize receivers would be nice
- alarm clock functionality a plus
- I would *really* like to be able to use the receivers as an announcement/PA system as well - both broadcast (same sound file to all Receivers or group of Receivers) and to individual Receivers

Pipe dream?
