Not quite a match, but maybe worth investigating the hackability: the
$99 Roku box sold initially to stream Netflix but supposed to be getting
other capabilities. Or for just audio, their soundbridge products that
are more expensive but some include speakers. Development specs are
available for the soundbridge along with source for gpl'd code included
with the netflix box. Not sure about development on the netflix box,
though. Might be worth $99 just to take it apart and see what's in there.
