Does Garageband for iPad support audio output over Airplay?

Since I don't currently have an Airplay output device on my network, I can't tell if Garageband supports this. Anyone know?

Thanks.

iPad, iOS 4

When the iPad or iTunes is sending music/video to an AirPlay Output device, it is actually sending the music/video file over to that device to play rather then just sending 2 channels of audio.

For this reason, GarageBand would be a difficult task asnit would need to send up to 10 files (8 tracks and 2 effects) over the network to play in perfect sync.

For this reason, garageBand would not be stable and you would have a large amount of drag.
