Comment (by albert):

 I would love to develop on this by myself, but I know barely nothing about
 the AirPort Express and only less about the PulseAudio internals.

 If anybody could help me a bit out here, give a rough overview where to
 start and what to do, that would be nice.

 For example:
 1. How can I distribute the server as an AirPort Express base station via
 Avahi?
 2. Good starting point for the emulation itself? (I assume that I would
 have to listen on some UDP port and then decode the stream, which is coded
 as Apple Lossless audio as far as I know. I would try to get the needed
 information about the protocol from the raop-play project.)
