I'm not sure if any forum readers have one, but Streamsicle now supports the Exstreamer hardware mp3 stream player ( http://www.barix.com/exstreamer/ ). The support is in CVS and should be considered, but it seems to be working quite well so far.
Try it out if you have one and let me know how it works for you.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have an Exstreamer and have been using it with Streamsicle versions 1.2, 2beta and 2.
The Exstreamer can be configured as a streaming puller and it automatically connects to Streamsicle and plays the stream.
This basically kills all of the stream/queue/next track functions of the Exstreamer but Play/Pause/volume work fine.
I also modified the Streamsicle GUI to automatically show a Play/Pause/volume control bar for each Exstreamer connected.
(based on a name match in the listeners section)
The only problem I couldn't resolve was to do with issuing pause/play/stop/volume commands to the Exstreamer.
As the Exstreamer runs a built in web server and the commands are issued as cgi commands to that server then clicking on the buttons in the Streamsicle GUI opened a new web page which contained the Exstreamer response to the cgi.
This window could be minimised and ignored but I never managed to get it to not open at all or to open off screen.
Has anything changed with the Exstreamer integration or does it still need to be configured as a puller ?
Thanks

The integration is quite sweet, actually-- Streamsicle will automatically detect the presence of an Exstreamer on a local network (it sends intermittent UDP broadcasts). You can then play/stop the Exstreamer right from the Streamsicle interface as well as adjust volume. Try it out!

I managed to get the voume controls to not refresh the page through a little javascript trick, so you can pretty quickly adjust the volume.
If you have an exstreamer you should try it out. Just build streamsicle from CVS, then start streamsicle, then put your exstreamer into mode 0 and everything should happen automatically.

Could you explain what you mean by 'supports'?

Oh, and I forgot to mention that it uses the "push mode" of the Exstreamer. So you don't need to run the zServer.
