Yes, Apple's had the AirPort express for a while, and there have been some really expensive and/or complicated systems for PC-based thru-home audio. But this might actually work:
My goals:
- The PC is my central sound source--iTunes, Rhapsody, and web-based streaming audio.
- The transfer is wireless and digital
- The ability to have multiple receivers for various audio systems in the house (living room, basement, family room, bathroom (yes, I have a receiver and in-ceiling speakers in the bathroom)

Steve, I would look again at the AirPort Express and Airtunes. You can get them for $80 refurbished. Then get http://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/windows/ for $25 to send any audio to the AirPort. And with this free software (http://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/speakers.php) you can send audio to any computer as if it were an AirPort. The only problem then is remote control. If you get an iPhone or iPod Touch then the Remote apple will give you full control of your library and you can even see cover art. Email me if you have any questions.
AirTunes is still alive and well:
