switch to nav could be done with a dial press, and return to volume
control from nav on a timeout.

My library is a collection of other libraries. Its basic structure
cannot change. I suppose I could settle for a suppress flag in the
schema and writing my own tools to clean up what shows up, as long as
suppress was honored throughout. (i want to continue to allow scans of
my library for new or change content, cant change the structure of it or
actually eliminate dupes in any fundamental way)

Indications are that there are none. There have been a few, but they
have disappeared. http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?AirTunes

In any case, barring this directly, the ability to provide a
server-local audio-input device as an output stream would be better than
nothing. Then i could just hook the airport express up next to the
server and it would appear to function the same way without any
licensing/crypto concerns. Such a function could be useful for other
cases as well, such as playing audio from a weather radio or other
device with an audio output near the server.
