Hi David, et al --

To be honest I'd really be more interested in working with the RhythmBox folks 
on something similar that isn't linked to a proprietary protocol (or at least 
this is my understanding of things -- please correct me if it is in fact an 
"open" standard) that could be shared between RhythmBox, JuK and other Free / 
Open Source software.

I wouldn't mind supporting iTunes streams but I would prefer to have an open 
alternative (maybe based on SLP and Ogg Vorbis streaming) in place first...

But mostly just rambling and of course missing most of the context.  :-)

Cheers,
