Doug,

I connected node 28727 (the BBB) to my node 28876 (on a PC). When I 
tried the "playback" command, it only played locally, and not on the 
other connected node. The "localplay" doesn't work on either node at all.

I have 3 nodes on a separate server on a PC. I tested same command, and 
same thing..only playback works, but not localplay. They don't share any 
configuration with the BBB so its not that I copied
over an old config and changed it on the BBB.

I am stumped that it works for you, but not on my 2 servers. I'll keep 
looking around to see if its something configured wrong.
