Excellent directions. I never heard of sipie before, and am very
excited about being able to stream Howard and Boombox under Linix. I
had it working in just a few minutes. Though no GUI comes up. Is there
a way to tell what the missing component is if you just see the song
list come up on the command line?

Mel Karmazin has already stated that even after the merger, all hardware
from both manufacturers will continue to run. I see no reason why the
streams would be any different, if that's the case.
