Once again, my apologies if I've breached any list/group protocol with

Not at all for me, anyway. I'd be interested to see what's to be said
about this as I have been having similar thoughts - an extension to the
house which will be used part time as a recording studio will have CAT5
LAN cable going to it, and I also want to route audio to/from the rest
of the house, and I'm wondering if there's a good way of doing that
over the network instead of with separate cabling.
A major use of this would be to route the output of a digital radio
receiver, and as that's available as S/PDIF the all-digital route is
particularly tempting.
