Default wireless audio links

I'd like to connect the audio output from my PC through my hifi
amplifier. This would either be a ~10m cable run or some wireless
solution. While I do have some music on the computer, the main reason
is listening to the radio, especially the BBC's excellent archive of
stuff I missed, so 'reasonable' quality rather that hifi would be
required.

How long can I reasonably run the line level signal from the PC?
Can/Should I get a wee booster amp for this and, if so, any
suggestions?

I've looked at wireless solutions, but most are biased towards MP3
playback and interface directly to the audio files on the PC, so I'm
not usre if this would work with streamers such as RealPlayer. Also, I
don't really need the remote control or track listing stuff. Is there
anything that will simply transmit the audio output from box A
connected to my PC to box B connected to my amp?

Suplementary question: I'd like an extra set of speakers in the
kitchen. I listen more in there anyway and logically that's where the
whole system should live, but that's not going to happen soon. So, I'm
probably going to run cable but noticed a set of wireless speakers on
maplin while looking for solutions to the first question:

Anyone tried these? I can't imagine the sound quality is up to much,
but just how bad is it. They only have to compete with whatever cheap
speakers and cablr (15m) that I'd otherwise use. Good for the shed
maybe?

Thanks for the help.
