These are being dumped on Ebay for some very good prices. (IE cheaper than a used Joggler)
Going to install one in the main bathroom such that it is running Squeezeplayer and a Home Assistant MQTT stuff.
I currently utilize a Joggler there running Squeezeplayer connected to an amplifier / speakers. (not the Russound Zoned amp).
Basically you root it and install new software to it.
I'll post my step by step here.

Can it easily work on UK/EU power and wireless frequencies?

Seen a hack / mod to use 220 or a 220 to 5VDC power supply. Only difference between WiFi is max power here in the US is 200mW and UK is 100mW.

I think I read somewhere that the Zigbee or z-wave frequencies are different.

Done here modifying. Initially and most important is to root the device.
Yes Zigbee and ZWave are on different frequencies. Here using a modded Edison base that provides MQTT messages and control.
The base Android build is 4.3 circa 2012. Screen is very tiny.
Here is the base / main screen I am using which speaks MQTT such that you can remote control it and read the temperatures on it.
Still looking for a Squeezebox player that works with Android 4.3.
