Stream OS audio to Airport Express

[Tex-Twil]

Hi,
I've just got myself an Airport Express and it's working fine. I saw once a utility which allows to stream all the OSX audio to the Airport Express and not only from iTunes but I can't find it anymore.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Tex

Airfoil will do it. It works well except that there is a couple of seconds lag. So it is great for e.g. internet radio but sucks for visual content like youtube.

Yep this delay sucks a bit but I guess that there is nothing to do against.

Nevertheless I found a workaround for VLC while watching movies: VLC allows to desynchronize the video with the audio so all I had to do was to play the audio 2000 ms earlier. It can be in the Audio preferences

You can also use Airfoils built in video player. Haven't used it, but I suppose that it's using QuickTime so it might not be an alternative to VLC (depending on your needs).
