AirPort Express Streaming Audio From Any Program

Foobaz writes "Until now, the only application that can play audio on Apple's AirPort Express has been Apple's own iTunes. But Rogue Amoeba, makers of Audio Hijack, just released Airfoil, a program that lets you redirect anything to your AirPort Express, like streaming audio from mplayer, RealPlayer, or VLC."

    what, does that mean that it plays raunchy pron over the wireless connection

    No, not origasmi. I was thinking more the kind your neighbor's dog carefully arranges on your lawn. Dogs certainly know their feng shuit.
