I'm probably barking up the wrong tree though.
My hope is that the Deviate has enough remaining processor power to run this without additional hardware. I vaguely remember reference to an FPGA that was reserved for new features. I'm not sure if that was used for SAM though.
If a mass market sonos type device can pay for the development of the controller/player/server software and it works natively with the Deviate that is a win/win for everyone.
Who knows maybe this could be a gateway drug for new Deviate owners. Start with a phantom rising and love it some much you upgrade to D120/200 and you're already familiar with all the software needed to run it.
