That works, but remember it takes much more bandwidth and is therefore somteimes marginal with wireless (the SB1 is 802.11b, nothing quicker). This may cause pauses during playback (especially if you also use your wireless network for other things, or have troublesome interfering telephones). It'll work fine wired, though.
Some quick thoughts (there's probably a comparison in the wiki somewhere as well): Your SB1 won't work with SqueezeNetwork. Your SB1 won't sync as well with other players if you have more than one (you may get small gaps between tracks, for example). Your SB1 can't use the sound effect loops, I believe. Your SB1 can't have the fancy visualisations while playing (VU meters, spectrum analyser etc). Your SB1 can't command wake-on-LAN, I believe. For basic playing of music, though, it'll work fine. You can control it with a Controller, though, if you ever get one.
