[sf-lug] linux media (music) player with web server control

[Michael Shiloh]

thanks, I'll give it a look.

Says streaming. IIRC I looked at this awhile ago, and while I could 
control it remotely, it insisted on sending the audio to the controlling 
device.

I don't want it to come out of  my laptop, I want it to come out of the 
audio system I have plugged into my server.
