I have a SB 1001 connected to my home stereo preamp so I can listen to streaming internet radio or my library from Firefly. The recording output of the preamp feeds a Ramsey FM transmitter so I can broadcast to any room in the house. I then use VisualMR to control the SB remotely. You could try a similar configuration, but use SoundBridge Commander rather than VMR since it can run on linux.
