Airport Extreme to stream music?

Currently, i'm pluggin my TM(time machine)-HD (Lacie Rugged) into my MB. The Lacie has USB/FW400/800 ports that can supply power to other devices. Thus I plug my Audio interface into the TM-HD(powered by this) thus everything essentially draws power from my MB.
And of course my speakers connect to my interface.
That's basically my audio setup now.

I'll be getting the airport extreme soon and I had wanted to setup the TM-HD to back up wirelessly via the USB dock on the AE. Am I able to also connect my audio interface to the TM-HD and my speakers to it and thus stream music wirelessly?

bottomline is: I'm just replacing my MB with the AE in the whole setup, can I essentially stream music wirelessly?

I think I might be missing something here but I can't put my finger to it.

Thanks folks!

Yes you can. I know this is an Express link, but the same concept applies:

Apple - AirPort Express - Features - Music Sharing

ooh ok I'll look at that link =)

I was just thinking cos express uses an audio line out to stream music that's why it works. But the extreme would be sending digital data..

and i think the link is a DAC or something?

My bad! I was thinking Apple TV! I DO NOT think the Extreme has an audio interface!

=) I thought so..

was just hoping maybe it could send digital till it at least reached the DAC in my interface!

You could always get an AirPort Express on Fleabay for peanuts...

tat's true.. i could even get the old obsolete ones eh...
