I'm buying a house this week, and one of the features of the house is wired audio in most of the rooms. There are 6 rooms with speakers, and I think 16 speakers all told. Each room has its own volume control in the room. The inputs for the speakers all lead back to a central cabinet in the living room. I can pretty figure out how to get my Onkyo receiver to wire up the living room with the HTPC, but that's only going to cover 5 speakers. In a dream world, I end up with a system where I can I can send a single audio source to every room (so I can wander freely), or different audio to different rooms (so I can watch TV while someone else listens to music). It'd be really nice to be able to run different Pandora stations to different rooms. It'd be incredibly nice to be able to control this all over the network (or internet) so we don't need to walk down to the cabinet to click some switches. Surely this can't be that hard to do, it's essentially pushing bits around on wires, right? Problem is that all my expertise lies in software and I have no idea what to even search for when it comes to audio. Can I set up the HTPC to have multiple audio outs and change them dynamically? I'm going to need a piece of hardware bigger than the receiver I currently have to drive all these speakers, I'd imagine...
