Strange only at first sight. Soundbridge was able to decode bradcasted data,
as I've already entered the WLAN password. iTunes broadcast was from an
authorized, ethernet connected Mac. So Soundbridge could see the iTunes
broadcast but couldn't connect back to the basestation. Soundbridge even
complaint (correctly), that it couldn't connect to the WLAN. Also no DHCP
data was set. It is just funny that on one hand it  says, sorry not network
available and on the other hand it displays the name of my shared iTunes
library.

Kind: AAC-Audiodatei
Bit Rate: 128 kbps

or 

Kind: AAC-Audiodatei
Bit Rate: 190 kbps

Could it be a localization problem with German iTunes, as everything else in
Soundbridge GUI is English?

F.e.:
LiveIrland
iTunes URL: http://69.57.152.94:8000
Kind (from Soundbridge): MPEG-Audio-Stream
