I'm looking for a solution, but I don't know what to search for. I don't have any good audio store nearby, so I want to do some research before salespeople start giving me their million-dollar smiles.
Here's my problem:
I want an amplifier or something similar that can 'route' different inputs to different outputs.
I have a PC with boatloads of music, a DVD player and a tuner + other possible future sources.
I want something that I can use to 'route' these inputs to speakers in the ceilings in different rooms, speakers outside where we party and 5.1 surround in the living room where we watch DVDs.
Does anyone here have any ideas or know of any product?

They are one of the best retail outlets in Canada.

I haven't done anything with it since the thread, so can't offer any more advice.
If you do come up with something, then please post it in the linked thread, as I'm still planning on implementing a similar solution.

The matrix switcher can be setup with different presets controlled via the PC or another controller.
There are cheaper DSP's out there though.
