I have one of these and while the idea is great, the implementation sucks.  http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/reviews/article.php/3391201/Linksys-Wireless-B-Music-System.htm

You might be looking for something like that.

On a similar (but side) note:  I just picked up a Tivo  DVR do-dad/thingy which is really quite awesome.

Not only can I do typical DVR like stuff to my Comcast TV signal, I can watch On-demand NetFlix, Blockbuster and Amazon movies, connect to YouTube and with pyTivo running on my Ubuntu server, I can watch all my "backed up" movies, view my pictures and even listen to my mp3 collection.

It is really pretty cool.  Might not be what you are looking for but maybe it's more?

Ciao

Subject: Re: [Wlug] PC to Home Stereo Solution

Thanks guys. Looking at my post it was obvious I wasn't clear. I meant
wireless streaming. My stereo is not in proximity to my Linux box so
hardwiring is out. I quickly looked at Squeezebox and I think it might
be what I want. I'll spend more time reading up on that soon.

If there are other wireless PC-to-home-stereo solutions I'd love to know
about them.

Thanks again.
