building a linux stereo receiver?

[Matt Price]

Hey folks,

My stereo receiver just blew (wrong fuse!).  I am thinking about
replacing it with a simple embedded linux system that can
- play digital soundfiles stored on some kind of local hard drive
- be controlled from other computers in the house, and preferably also
from our android tablet
- access files on shared disk drives that live on other computers on the LAN
- switch inputs so e.g. it's possible to play records from the turntable

Has anyone ever done anything like that?  Any suggestions?

Thanks much,

Matt
