Not yet.  Bug 330411 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330411)
has been open for this issue for some time, but no one seems to be
working on it.  I think it would be quite difficult to implement this in
the existing DAAP server code in rhythmbox.  

This, stupidly enough, is because we avoid using chunked transfer
encoding as iTunes can't seek properly if we do.  Otherwise, we could
probably set up a GStreamer transcoding pipeline fairly easily.
