mp3 streaming with SqueezeCenter

i've been using ampache for a while, though i've recently had trouble streaming through a squid firewall. but i'm always on the lookout for a better way. SqueezeCenter (formerly slimserver) might be the answer. haven't tried it yet, but it's on my radar.

fixed scratchy mplayer

mplayer was sounding really scratchy when playing mp3s. i figured out that it was using -ao openal by default, so i recompiled it to use alsa instead (USE='alsa' on gentoo). now it sounds great.
