Streaming to Airport Express from other than iTunes

I just setup my Airport Express that I got "refreshed" from the Apple Store for $115 ... a deal, that I ended up spending too much time figuring out how to reset to factory defaults before I was able to configure it and get it working ... so much for the "refreshing" ...

IT'S AWESOME!!! I love being able to stream from iTunes on my PowerBook, or from iTunes on my Windows XP Compaq desktop - via the wired network ...

So my question is, does anyone know of any third-party apps that can hijack the audio out of an app, say Real Player or DVD Player, etc., and stream it to an airport express set of "remote speakers" ??

Airport Extreme uses an encryption key and Apple Lossless Compression to transfer the audio. It is questionable at this time whether it could legally be bypassed.

I don't think you'll have much luck getting it to work, though, and unless Apple decides to support other apps, we won't be seeing any AE supported apps anytime soon.
