What about airplaying music from an iDevice to XBMC or by using a iTunes 1.6 version?

Hey I wanted to jump in here, airplay has been really spotty for the last while for me -- using the nightly repo's, it hasnt worked at ALL in months. But I just gave it a shot this evening, stuff is working again! Just to be clear, I dont know WHEN it started working again. But as of today (oct 18) these are the remaining issues I could find from some testing:
iTunes PC (10.7.0.21) -- Streams 15 seconds exactly and crashes.
iTunes OSX - Same, 15 seconds and crash.
iPod touch -- works awesome
Android phone - using iMediashare app... works awesome
By crashes, I mean that I have to ssh into the xbmc box and killall -9 xbmc.bin. If I had to guess the problem's coming from itunes now.

Memphiz: thanks for your response.
iamthemarmot: I'm glad someone else is reproducing the same issue.
Streaming music from my iPhone 5.0.1 -> XBMC plays fine.
Unfortunately, I don't have another computer with an iTunes to try out. Is there anything I can try? Updated lib?

nope - nobody maintains the code for libshairport (which is used for receiving the airplay audio stuff). If someone got a windows with xbmc. There we are using a different lib for airtunes - would be nice to know if it plays the itunes 10.7 streams...

I'll try installing the latest built XBMC for Windows nightly and report back with my results.

I had the same issue running xbmc archlinux. The reason seems to be an outdated / unmaintained version of libshairport.
Therefore I removed the libshairport package completely and reinstalled it from the xbmc/lib directory:
cd xbmc/lib/libshairport
make && sudo make install
sudo chmod o+rx /usr/local/include/shairport
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libshairport.so.0 /usr/lib
Finally rebuild xbmc and it works again.
