If you don't mind not having control of the music, and you have access to
the other side of the wire that's in the livingroom/dining room.
Have you tried to run the sound out using the cat3/4/5 in the wall, and just
using the amplified speakers in the livingroom/dining room?
For instance, hookup a switch that routes the sound to "headphones" instead
of the speakers (Radio Shack about $15), run the headphone wire from this
switch to a modified network cable using 3 pairs of wires.
On the other end have a modified network cable to go from those three pairs
back to a 1/8" headphone plug, and plug that into amplified speakers.
(or does this qualify fr the going downstairs to tell it what to play?)
