Belkin demonstrated wireless USB at CES last January. They have had a few technical problems bringing it to market though, evidently passing FCC emissions is part of it...To change the AE to output USB audio would require firmware changes I believe. You would have to have the original source code to make these changes. I dont think Apple will be forthcoming with this...
The 802.11G WiFi that the AE uses is quite excellent actually. I have Off-Ramp WiFi versions of this that have great transmitting range and the audio quality is only limited by the TI interface chips, the 270X series. Both the S/PDIF-AES and I2S versions sound better than CD players, albeit not quite as good as USB interfaces. They are limited to 16/44.1 kHz unfortunately, where USB is not.
