To expand on what funkstar wrote, it's not.  It actually reconstructs
the audio data from packets.

The audio is broken up into packets and reassembled by the Squeezebox. 
This allows some nice things to happen, like buffering and error
correction, so you get bit-perfect playback because it's equivalent to
sending a computer file over wireless.

This is not like how a soundcard works.  It's how file sharing works.
