There is about a 20 second lag between switching tracks and hearing the change. I used to do this around the house, before I dropped 32Gb into my N800 and just carried the music locally.
But in that case, you still have to control the server, while also listening to the stream, and like you said, a huge lag.

Using SqueezePlay on my desktop, its pretty instantaneous, and much faster than even using the N770 skin as a remote (which IMO was pretty slow and buggy).

Good thoughts though. Has anyone looked at the code to see about the porting aspect, or is it just not worth the time?
