[Cialug] Small cheap computer for Airplay

[Matthew Nuzum]

I used to have spare computers running Linux in my basement. One ran
Shareport so that I could hook a speaker up to it and play music from my
iPod.

I got rid of that computer because now I can run virtual machines to do
what I want and don't need the power consumption of a full time PC on all
the time.

I'd like to do the Shareport thing again, I think. Ideally it would be
wireless except for power, and have an analog audio out. Debian based is a
bonus, as is a low price, like under $50. (I can get a speaker with Airplay
built in for $80)

If it's not possible to get one with Wireless for $50 I can probably run
Ethernet, and at that point, I think the Raspberry Pi would probably work.
However, it's not clear to me if the RPi has analog audio out (there is a
lot of mention about it having HDMI, which I really don't need).

My preference is a cheap wifi enabled device though, if possible.

Any suggestions?
