To add to Satoshi's message, I also understand that airtunes sends the
data in Apple Lossless compression format. I do not know if that codec
is open source or not (I doubt it). So you would not only have to
encrypt it but also convert mp3, wav ...(ogg?? :) to lossless apple
format.
Good luck,
Christian
