The Future is Already Here, It's Just Not Evenly Distributed (Apple TV & Internet Radio Edition

So, the Apple TV does what it does very well, which is play all of your downloaded music, video, and podcasts. But, it seems to operate under the assumption that all media content you could ever want to consume fits in one of those formats. Unfortunately, plenty of content out there is not put into podcast form; you can't use it listen to KCRW on-demand music programming, or KUOW's radio stream. Some of this is driven by software, as well as copyright concerns; there isn't a copy RealPlayer on the ATV, and someone would probably try to sue Apple anyway.

Anyone know if there's a gadget out there that fits this profile? I have a suspicion the answer is "get a Media Center PC".
