Your math is too simplistic.
Deliberately so.

unusual) circumstances is 4-5 Mbps.
I know this. That's why I have my wireless Squeezebox on a dedicated access point, i.e. no other traffic on the wireless lan.
Note that these figures also apply to the *wired* SB interface as it is only 10BaseT (10Mb/s).
Also, your PCM estimate ignores
the overhead of packetization.
You mean to stream it over IP? I haven't looked at the detail of the protocol used but I imagine the overhead will be small.

Positive. I can also stream .wav files with no problems.
The bottom line is that there is plenty enough bandwidth with 11b or 10Base-T to stream raw PCM audio.
I can't comment on your particular experiences, or why you've had problems. Perhaps you'd care to describe your setup and what sort of problems you've had?
