AirPort Express Streaming Audio From Any Program

Posted by Zonk on from the showing-off-my-tmbg-collection dept.

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."

    My claims? Considering Apple uses RTSP for it's Quicktime streaming it would only make sense for them to use the thing they know for their other products. Any more proof? Shall I telnet to port 554 on my Airport Express and show you the RTSP signature? How about a Apple Press Release in which they updated RTSP in the Airport firmware. I'm sure Apple always updates protocols not supported by their hardware!
