One solution is to park a UPnP Player (like the NetGear MP101 or Philips Streamium) next to your stereo, and control that from a PC.

It doesn't have volume control, and the control is from the player's remote control, but it is close to what you want.

Remote Server will do what you want, but it only works with Media Center, not Media Jukebox.

It gives a basic web interface to Media Center, so you can control it from other computers. NetRemote is
a cool interface to this that runs on PDAs I think.

You'll get more info on this in the Media Center forum...
