One possibility - you could disable the Squeezebox's internal

dB value for adjustment:
flc wav * *

It shouldn't. If you use up too much bandwidth there's a risk that
you'll get dropouts, but there won't be any subtle degredation. Keep
in mind that wireless is a shared medium, though; even if you get a
separate card for the computer, it'll still chew up the available
bandwidth.
