I really like the look of this device.  I hope you dont mind but I have a few questions I'm wondering if you might know the answer to...

Does it allow you to set it up as a separate zone in MC?
Is it easy to isolate this so it does not accidentally play other system sounds? 
I would like to leave my sound card to play all other sounds from the PC and Zone 1 of MC and set up a Zone 2 which uses this Linksys. 
Is this how it works?

Thanks for any help....

No

No, sounds from your computer either play through it or they don't.  You can of course disable the system sounds for the most part however.

Can't be done.

The sound is really good.  I would note however that since it is a bridge, you have to allready have a router to hook in between the bridge and computer.

Thanks so much for the reply.

Not the answers I was hoping for but I'm glad to find these out before I buy one...

No Problem. 

It essentialy comes down to the software so I'm sure some super hackers out there could do the things you mentioned SupeRabbit0
