Multiple Apple TVs as Muilti-Room Audio System?
Is it possible to have multiple Apple TV devices (say one in each room), connected to speakers, and use this as a multi-room audio system?
Principal issues I'm thinking of are:
1. How would you select which Apple TV device you want to stream audio to, either from a computer or (when Airplay arrives) from an iPod/iPhone?
2. Would different Apple TV devices be able to receive different audio content, so that each could say play music from a different iPod or iTunes library?
3. Would it be possible to access media content from a dedicated media server, say a network attached drive, and stream it to Apple TV, or does it need to come from a computer actually running iTunes or an iPod?
4. Is there any kind of dedicated controller available, which is compatible with Apple TV and which would show you your media library, or is this kind of control only possible with iPod/iPhone or from your Mac/PC?
Many thanks in advance for any help on these points. If it works, this could be a great way to setup multi-room audio relatively cheaply.
