Streaming Internet radio to home stereo

A friend currently plays Shoutcast radio music from a broadband Internet
connection on a home audio system by means of a PC (running Winamp) with a
long cable connected from the PC audio out jack to the home audio system.
I'm looking for a low-cost solution to eliminate the cable using an existing
802.11g Wi-Fi WPA-PSK network. 802.11g (not 802.11b) with WPA-PSK is a
requirement. Video (TV) is of no interest. I've come up with two different
approaches:

1. Standalone Internet radio connecting to 802.11g network, either:
a. Wired Internet radio with a Wi-Fi-Ethernet bridge/gaming adapter
e.g., Slim Devices Squeezebox with Linksys WRT54G as client bridge,
about $130 used.
b. Wireless Internet radio that supports 802.11g with WPA.
Haven't been able to find anything (affordable at least).

2. Media Adapter with PC as server, either:
a. Wired Media Adapter with a Wi-Fi-Ethernet bridge/gaming adapter
e.g., Hauppauge MediaMVP with Linksys WRT54G as client bridge,
about $100 used.
b. Wireless Media Adapter that supports 802.11g with WPA.
Haven't been able to find anything affordable.

2.a seems to be the lowest cost solution.
Have I missed anything less expensive?
