multimedia distribution to make a hi-fi out of my computer

hello guys!

I think I've heard about a linux distribution which was oriented towards audio and video playing.
I need a hi-fi and I thought I could install that linux version on a computer to get what I'd like to have..

could it be a good idea?
what is this distribution?

thanks for your help in advance
