Don't worry, I know that you can't use AirPlay to push video to the original Apple TV and that there is no software update for the older units. However, with my Apple TV I can of course use the Remote App on my iPad or iPhone to control music of playback, and whether playing from my iMac through Remote or playing from the Apple TV library selection (both of which stream the iMac library), I can still select just the Apple TV speakers or add the AirPort Express speakers I have plugged in in the garage.
So my question is whether the original Apple TV supports AirPlay for Audio only. Can I stream music directly to the original Apple TV from an iPad or iPhone or am I still limited to the Remote App for AirTunes (now AirPlay) functionality? Most of the time I would probably control it, but I can see how sometimes I might want to play from my active iPhone song/playlist and not just cue up even the same song or playlist from the library.
