I have a couple of these in my house:

http://www.slimdevices.com/

They are totally open source right from the firmware to the server software 
which is written entirely in perl so it runs great right on my VDR box.  One 
bonus with these guys is that they can be sync'd to play the same music (or 
not) so it's possible to have the same song playing throughout the house. 
They have both a wireless and wired version.

I love mine and I highly recommend them.

Have fun!
