[slinkelist] multi room and multi zone

[Dave Kolb]

Sounds pretty nice.

I think I was overly fixated on trying to allow multiple input sources to be
selected from each zone. This sounds nice but may not be that useful in
practice and I'm rethinking that maybe I just want a single receiver and all
rooms hear the same source but can be turned on/off and set at different
volumes. Then the problem becomes easier. What does the DXS do for you in
this scenario?

Thanks,
Dave
