Another method of streaming audio via iTunes

nc is neat, thanks for the hint! But doesn't it make more sense to compress the audio on the Mac, before sending it across the network? mplayer can play many different formats, so you don't need to turn the raw wav data into mp3 for mplayer to play it.

The bandwidth on local LAN was not a question – I'm the single user here. When I was using lame on the local end it constantly consumed 20% CPU, while CPU on Solaris box was also not a question – it's a file server with a sound card.
