fyi; this might be helpful for playback...

you can play mp3's using http streaming through a browser with a flash
plugin.  it just needs the standard httpd on a cpu to access the fs.

i use this technique to stream mp3's through rangboom using http.  the
javascript in the web interface makes the exported mp3 files available
for streaming by embedding a flash player.  the flash plugin uses http
streaming (https) to playback files, which starts playing immediately.
9p is used to export the mp3's from the user's computer to
rangboom.com and http is used from there to the browser/flash plugin
"consumer".  the flash player could be made fancier to play from a
playlist, etc.  any flash experts among 9fans?

playing mp3's through rangboom - includes encryption -  works very
well.  serving content that resides on an attached fs should be excellent.
