I think the beauty of these devices is choice, myself: you can use the IR remote, or a Controller, or an SB Touch, or an iPod Touch with one of the 3rd party remotes, or a web interface. You can install to a NAS if you want. Or you can choose to use mysqueezebox.com and leave your computer off.

You can use the WaveInput plugin. There will be an audio delay between what is on the PC and what is on the squeezebox. There is no way to avoid this because the squeezebox needs to buffer the stream from the PC in order to prevent playback issues.
