On a slightly different tack, I have an iRiver iHP-140 portable player, 
and very nice it is too. However, the (admittedly Windows based) 
software that comes with it includes a web-based streaming media server 
that uses the iHP-140 on USB2 as the source. The web interface can be 
accessed from anywhere on the network, and it's piss easy to set up.

If you haven't got one and fancy a portable player as well, this is a 
good option.
