This would be genius.

Inappropriate?This would be fantastic. I use an AppleTV as the front end to my music library and stream music to the rest of my house via multiple Airport Express devices. It would be great for Boxee to be able to "see" my shared iTunes library, play music, and stream to the Airport Express devices. Why exit Boxee if I don't have to! -
Inappropriate?I think this is a great idea, but I am afraid it would be a huge, if not impossible task to implement. I haven't gotten off my butt to look through my Macintosh dev library, but I am betting that the protocol for Airtunes is restricted to iTunes alone. If it were an open API, we'd see more third-party applications connecting to Airtunes. In fact, it would be nice to see the iPhone / iTouch be able to play its songs straight from the cradle to an Airtunes receiver.
Rogue Amoeba made a program called Airfoil that supports streaming to an Airport Express / Extreme from a third-party app (like Boxee). To include this functionality within Boxee, the devs would need to do all the reverse-engineering legwork that the folks at Rogue Amoeba invested to create Airfoil. At this stage, I think there are more pressing issues to address while the Airfoil workaround exists.
