I don't have an iMac, but assuming it's connections are the same as a mini, you can use a 3.5mm toslink cable (or the appropriate adapter), to stream the digital signal to your TP's input. That avoids going analog in the Mac. Sorry, just re-read your email, 20 meters? That eliminates a toslink connection....
While streaming through squeeze center sounds simpler and preferable at first, I'm not sure it's really a good option. In particular, I wonder if it won't suffer from synchronization issues. The audio data would need to be buffered in the mac until a full packet was available, then sent to the TP, then buffered again, before being output. I have a feeling the audio would always lag the video because of this, after all, there's no real need to control the latency in an audio only system like Squeeze Center. I have a feeling that something like an Apple TV would be better suited for your video streaming. It can be located close enough that you can use the toslink for audio....
