I am looking for solution too. Native Apple TV app audio plays well with airplay external speakers however once switched to xbmc the audio output doesn't play to airplay external speakers tried different audio settings in xbmc! no luck yet.

There is a somehow workaround to get xbmc audio over your airplay speakers. This is what you should do: start a radio station on the appletv main menu and let it play over your airplay speakers, then pause the radio station and go back to main menu atv and start xbmc. If you click on any video now it should play the audio over airplay, but is out of sync, but you can adjust that off course within the video/audio settings in the osd. That is how I do it for now until airplay audio will be supported within xbmc. Cheers.

Will most likely never be supported from within xbmc because this feature is specific to osx and ios (which presents the airplay sinks as kinda audio devices). The mentioned out of sync issue is also expected as kodi has no control over when the audio packets really hit the speaker. Just don't expect anything in that direction from me (airplay is proprietary closed source shit if you ask me and its not the way to go for us in the open source world).
