You could:

- ICEcast
- use NAS http://www.radscan.com/nas.html#DOWNLOAD (prebuilt binaries
for Windows that use Cygwin)
- Home grow your own.  If you want to do it with HTML/JavaScript that is ok.
- Send a email to a monitored account that triggers a notification
with the "beep" sound.
- Drop a file in a queue, and have something on the Windows machine
pick it up, and play it (something like Samba with batch).
- Send a smbmessage to the Windows machine, and change the sound from
the "beep.wav", or whatever it uses.

Can't think of many others...
