If anyone's looking at Airplay as an alternative to Squeezebox, it's
also worth looking at Rogue Amoeba's 'Airfoil'
(http://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/) which gives you selective control of
which app(s) send audio and allows Macs, PC's, iDevices and Android
devices to act as receivers, as well as AirPlay hardware devices. From
my experience so far it doesn't have quite the same remote-control
capability as you get with Squeezebox or with Apple Remote controlling
iTunes playing to real Airplay devices - so you might need to access the
computer that's sending the audio from time to time, which might be a
pain if it's a headless server - but it's an option.

There's also 'AirServer' (http://www.airserverapp.com), which despite
being marketed as a way of using your computer as a big display for iOS
games works perfectly well to turn your PC or Mac into an AirPlay audio
destination.
