Ok, so you can pick up a little Airport Express doohicky and connect up to your amp and away you go with iTunes 4.6.
My question is, if you don't have an Airport Express but do have 2 wireless enabled powerbooks, could you place one near the amp, connect it and then use it as a base station for the other powerbook to stream AirTunes to? I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.
Just a thought.
Steve.

Nope.
But you can just plug your laptop into the stereo and get one of the many existing apps to control the laptop from another computer.

Why AirTunes? You can share your library from one computer to the next or just plug the laptop straight in! It's a laptop after all you can move it!

And they're either kludgy or expensive. He could just get one of those applications to control iTunes over the network. Some of them even allow control over any web browser. - Control iTunes via a client/server app with iHam on iRye. [donationware]
- From a web-enabled Mac, PC, or PDA: webRemote. [shareware]
There are more on VersionTracker with a simple search for itunes remote.

Guys, thanks for the responses. I was merely asking if it were possible, not that I intend to do so. Since the Express doohicky is just another rendezvous device, why couldn't a 12" powerbook be controlled in the same way.
I'd like to start seeing some more of these devices, like a wireless video-out port to stream a DVD across a network.
Oh that reminds me, could the Express be used to send the digital audio stream of a DVD to an AV receiver for those powerbooks that don't have digital audio output?
Cheers,
Steve
