Is it possible to use a Dreambox as a media centre?

Rather than investing in a toy from here: _www.audiofi.co.uk/

is there any way/ sotfware/ plugins that can be used to allow the Dreambox to play music from a PC? I don't just mean MP3, but .wav, .ogg or .flac? A winamp plugin (similar to vlc) would be great as that plays all formats on the pc.

Thanks :)

Got everything installed and working on the PC.

Installed dreamnetcast on Dreambox and edited "stations.xml" with this:

<entry Playstring="http://10.0.0.9:9000/listen.pls">
<Name>10.0.0.9</Name>
<Genre>musick</Genre>
<Nowplaying>music</Nowplaying>
<Listeners>1</Listeners>
<Bitrate>256</Bitrate>
</entry>

(where 9000 is the port I use) and it all works fine now :)

Open up DreamnetCast, select the channel above and it plays music from winamp on my PC.

Thanks again :)

Now if only it'd work for .avi etc.

:D
