Can GarageBand use airplay functionality with a Griffin GuitarConnect?

Hi, hope someone can help answer this. Before I invest in any plug-in devices for my guitar into iPad 2 / iPhone 3GS I'd like to know if the Griffin GuitarConnect device can be used alongside the airplay functionality in GarageBand (i.e. plug the guitar in through headphone jack and use airplay to stream to A/V receiver)? If not, is there a device that will (maybe Apogee JAM)? I'd like to avoid spending hundreds just for this feature.

Thanks in advance.

GarageBand for iOS can stream audio to airplay, Bluetooth and HDMI sources (option found under the "Song" section within the settings), but by enabling this it disables any audio input functionality.

You can, if you like, still use touch instruments when streaming to external speakers, but there is a delay which makes doing so impossible to use in practice.

This sort of streaming is designed for playback only.
