Or you could just find something on eBay like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271549279666 now that a pi zero and a usb soundcard will cost ten bucks, its coming down. Roll on a pi zero with wifi and bluetooth on board.

I have been using these PAM8403 amplifiers which are available for around (lets use $ for convenience) $2 each and although they are only 3wpc they will more or less drive any speaker from a battery. http://goo.gl/so5pr3 a bigger amp would be the 12v PAM8610 at 10wpc.
But the cheapest RP wifi player I could find is a Nokia 5800 phone. It sounds great playing the realmedia stream, but it is still $50 on ebay and actually not that user friendly. And for the aim of this project, a risk of theft.
Are there any other really cheap players which could pick up an ogg stream or an aac feed over wifi for a very low price? possibly even just a board or module to be incorporated in to a pair of speakers?
I am looking at Raspberry Pis but I'm sure we can do better than that.
Thanks for looking in.
