Just bought Airfoil for $25. There’s a linux version of Airfoil Speakers, which works in ubuntu. So now I can use iTunes instead of MPD for playing music through receiver. Playing videos doesn’t seem to work very good, there’s a 2 second delay, if you read their FAQ. Not a big deal. iTunes through receiver without airport express is good enough for me. Could output internet radio to it too, like pandora.com.
Oh yeah to get it to work in ubuntu, you need to install libmono-cli or something like that. Wait its “libmono2.0-cil” or “libmono1.0-cil”. I have both installed. Also have “libmono0″ installed. and a whole bunch of others, just use sudo aptitude install libmono2.0-cil. And hopefully it’ll install everything it needs..
Update
To get airfoilspeakers to work in ubuntu run the following command:
sudo aptitude install libavahi1.0-cil libmono-winforms2.0-cil libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil
