I had considered using a router; capable of running OpenWRT and containing a USB port, along with a USB sound device.
But in the end, I ran speaker wire.
I have a ranch house with a mostly unfinished basement running wire is easy.

Any old PC could fit the bill with a damnsmalllinux or other flavor and low low hardware requirements. If you want it quiet and clean, then any small, fanless, low-end set-top type boxes would do it.

Easy peasy linux solution:

Well, the problem is that "streaming audio" sounds an awful lot like a "digital system", and the original question was:
I'd like to have an option to pipe an audio stream from a cental PC to various non-digital audio systems around the house
So I guess that's right out.
