Consider an intel NUC with such a library ? but the PI is so cheap so you can get one and try , if its to weak make a player of it.

Mine sites besides my main router and switch from where all the ethernet wiring in my home is distrubuted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
