Check that you implement DLNA with your streaming server (ref: OpenDLNA) so it works PnP with devices such as PS3 & PSP (XBox 360 & Wii?)
Also, if you utilise a firewall with DynDNS (such as IPCop) & port forwarding, you can place your slimserver onto the 'net, & thus have a 'radio station'.
Been using slimserver for a few years (pre-logitech days). Pretty cool

> deb http://debian.slimdevices.com unstable main
> - update the cache
> sudo apt-get update
> - and install the center
> sudo apt-get install squeezecenter
>
> A minimal setup after installation finishes is just providing the
