AFAICT - there used to be an open source Airtune client a few years ago
but Apple changed their proprietary protocol and encrypted it. 
Currently, either nobody has bothered to break the encryption or
couldn't break it.

As it see it.

1. Encryption could be broken but developers do not see it as a
worthwhile exercise since there are better alternatives.

2. If plugin was created which did break the proprietary protocol and
encryption - then Apple could litigate against the plugin author as it
probably would be breaking the T&Cs of using iTunes.

A workaround would be to copy PC audio from iTunes using something like
VLC to create a http audio stream.
