I just stumbled across this Airfoil on Mac OS X, which lets me 'throw' music from my laptop to any other linux machine, iPhone or other device hooked up to a better set of speakers than my laptop – here's the page below:

What tools would I use to recreate this functionality on a linux box – are there any nice GUI interfaces to something like pulse audio (which is what I imagine I'd use ) for doing this?
Thanks
