Spot on - the controller is a fully fledged computing device (it runs and
embeded Linux) so it's perfectly capable of being an independent xAP
controller without SqueezeCenter being in the picture at all. That said, a
standalone xAP implementation would need to deal with it not being always
on
and indeed ensure that it didn't require it to be on as that would kill the
batteries very quickly. So maybe a component of the solution does need to
be
on the server - hmmm... more thought required on the architecture.

Well, that's fair enough.
I was hoping initially that we have a Squeezecenter V7 compatible
interface so that an upgrade to a Duet box wouldn't destroy the
underlying ability to xAP interface other units (e.g. Squeezebox 3)
when having to install Squeezecentre. This sounds like exactly what
you are aiming for:-)
Of course... it does get you thinking that with the handset, an
interface back to xAP could be possible (e.g. menu on the handset -
with xAP commands issued from it such as - lights on/off etc). But
that is clearly not just functionality in Squeezecentre plugins but
something for the handset itself.
