Play mp3 on a headless box, control headless box with a web browser

I have been looking around for a project with similar specifications. If there is not one started I'd like to get some hacks together.

The concept is to have a headless box, that boots from the network file server and plays mp3s from the file server. The headless box will run httpd with php, be connected to the component stereo system. From various workstations in the house you can open a browser and connect to the livingroom_mp3.home.net and start and play the mp3s probably using xmms, or the command line version.

Please let me know if you have come by something like this and/or want to start a project.

The server software works great with or without the hardware, there are probably numerous ways to pipe other information through it.

I am actually lessoning to my music from edna-0.5 right now. Its great but, it falls short on the part of playing the music on the box that is hosting the program/website/controller
