Developers: DIY Ethernet Audio Receiver

geo writes "I created this site to describe my latest toy: a digital 
audio multicast receiver. LANPipe receives 16-bit, 44.1 kHz audio 
multicast from a PC based server. The server uses a Winamp plug-in, so 
LANPipe can play almost any source format (mp3, ogg, uncompressed). It 
even has a digital audio output. The receiver uses a custom CPU written 
in VHDL and implemented on a Xilinx FPGA. This was a fun project that is 
best appreciated by fellow hardware geeks."
