I have been looking into this setup myself for my Pi.  I have no
hardware squeezeboxes.  I used squeezeslave for a while but when I
downloaded SqueezePlayer for my phone and tablet from the Google play
store I found that SqueezePlay and squeezeslave would not play well.
I never found the sync to be great between two squeezeslave machines
either (often one would get up to 30 seconds or more behind the
other).

I then found squeezelite.  Again, I don't have hardware players, but
between multiple instances of itself and between it and SqueezePlayer
on the android devices, it has all gone well.

I plan to use my Pi as a squeezelite player, hooked up to some kind of
stand-alone amp for playing audio on outdoor speakers.  Whether I
actually get that little project of the drawing board is another story
though :P
