AirPlay issue: MP3 livestream stuck at startup if AirPlay enabled before playback

[defagos]

Description of the problem

When AirPlay is enabled before playback of an MP3 livestream, playback never starts and the player spins indefinitely.

Remarks:

• This is likely a bug to report to Apple:
• If AirPlay is enabled afterwards or if the MP3 is an AOD the issue does not arise.
• AirPlay sometimes does not work either when chaining HLS to MP3 content in a playlist. The two issues are likely related.

Still an issue with iOS 17.1.1 and tvOS 17.2 beta.

Will be checked in sprint 99 with two outputs:

• Fixed in iOS 18 beta: In this case close.
• Not fixed: Write issue properly.
