SqueezeCenter 7.2 is officially out and not interesting anymore ;-) Let's have a look at version 7.3 which has a new streaming service. In this test I downloaded SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975.ZIP from here.
The first attempt to start the server (after unpacking and "chmod"-ding) gave me this error:
# ./slimserver.pl
The following modules failed to load: YAML::Syck
The following modules failed to load: YAML::Syck
To download and compile them, please run: /usr/local/SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl YAML::Syck
Exiting..
The "built-in" build-perl-modules.pl failed to install the CPAN module:

These packages are needed for SqueezeCenter to function.
You will need a C compiler (gcc), make, and perl installed.
You will need development libraries for MySQL. eg: libmysqlclient
You will need development libraries for expat. eg: libexpat1-dev

Downloading YAML-Syck-0.64.tar.gz to: /usr/local/SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975
Something looks wrong – I couldn't read /usr/local/SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975/YAML-Syck-0.64.tar.gz, which I just downloaded.
Uncompressing..
sh: YAML-Syck-0.64.tar.gz: cannot open
tar: blocksize = 0
Couldn't change to YAML-Syck-0.64 : No such file or directory at /usr/local/SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl line 226, line 2.
So, I decided to go the old way and get rid of the supplied with SqueezeCenter CPAN directory.
# mv CPAN CPAN-orig
… update YAML::Syck just in case…
# perl -MCPAN -e shell
. . .
cpan[1]> install YAML::Syck
YAML::Syck is up to date (1.05).
#

cpan[1]> install YAML::Syck
YAML::Syck is up to date (1.05).

… and start the server again …

This error looks familiar. And after commenting line 40 in SqueezeCenter-7.3-22975/Slim/Utils/Unicode.pm (#use Encode::Detect::Detector; ) the server came alive and immediately updated the firmware of the Transporter to version 62.

According to the discussion (here) the following command should work:
hdcd.exe < 16bit.wav > 24bit.wav
or
flac -d -c hdcd_orig_16bit.flac | hdcd | flac -5 -f – -o decoded_24bit.flac
or
flac -d -c hdcd_orig_16bit.flac | hdcd | flac -5 -f – -o decoded_24bit.flac
Wine 1.1.3 is out! Let's see hot it compiles on Solaris snv_95 (Solaris 11 build 95).

See I/OAT description here.
Solaris (at least snv_93 and and snv_95) panics if large amount of traffic is sent across the interface dedicated to a zone with exclusive TCP/IP stack. For example, start Firefox and forward the X traffic to the global zone.

If SmartMenus submenus are not shown and the error console shows you the following error:
o is undefined line 16
in /smartmenus/c_smartmenus.js
Most likely the slash is missing in a closing tag (e.g. in </li> ) in the menu file.
If after entering username/password you see a small window (with a going back and forth blue "slider") saying:
"Completing post install setup"
most likely svc:/system/postrun/default service is not running.
Check the status:
# svcs -vx postrun
and enable it if it's disabled (for example, after a system upgrade)
# svcadm enable postrun
