AirPlay Issues after v7.76.1

[igotdes]

Description

User in #9039831-zen reports an issue with AirPlay to their Sonos speakers turning on and off intermittently:

After your last update, Airplay is not working properly on iOS. It keeps turning on and off repeatedly. I’m using my iPhone and a Sonos speaker, playing the podcast via Airplay from my iPhone to the Sonos speaker. After starting, Airplay goes on, off, on, off, on, off—it’s not a smooth transmission anymore. I tested with other podcast apps, and they work without any issues. Thank you for your help.

It only happens with AirPlay on my Sonos speakers! Unfortunately, I can only test this because I don’t have any other devices with AirPlay. With other apps, AirPlay works without any issues. When using your connection through the Sonos 2 app, it also works without any problems. This issue occurs with all of my different Sonos devices. I am using the Sonos 2 controller.

I could reproduce this issue airplaying to my LG tv and also Apple TV.

A temporary fix has been applied to the server side, and AirPlay should work properly now.
A permanent fix would be released as part of #2464.
