OK I compiled squeezeslave on my frontend today but will have to wait
until i get home to test it.

I followed the instructions here:

Only problem I perceive is that the frontend connects to a receiver
via spdif and the two hardware players don't. The digital connection
MIGHT introduce a small delay.
