a) In Windows you share the folder with your music on the main PC and
make it available to other pcs on your network.  Then you can use most
types of software to access it by adding the folder.  I assume
Macs/Linux would have a similar feature.  So you would add the shared
folder to your music library in whatever software you prefer on the
office pc.

b) In your office pc you can play the stream as suggested above in your
favourite music software and control it via the web interface as
suggested by radish.

c) You could install SqueezePlay on the office pc.  It will behave like
the controller and you can listen to your music on the other pc just
like an extra player. You may be able to sync with the other players in
the house etc.  You could also install it in your original pc. 
SqueezePlay is beta though and ranks low on the fix list.  If it works
its great, but if not it will be a while before it gets sorted out. 
Squeezeplay has the advantage that you could also use it to control the
other players in your house.

d) Use squeezeslave which acts like a squeezeplay with no frontend.  
Then use the web interface to control.

e) The itunes sharing option above suggested by MeSue.  Not familiar
with it.

I would go for a) if or e) if you like to control music through my
normal pc music plauyers such as itunes. 
I personally use c).  I also load up Moose which is PC software to
control any player on your network.
