I mean the AirPlay (RAOP 2.0) synchronization. When a client connects to a server, the client sends a NTP-like timestamp so that the server (the player) adjusts his own clock and they share the same reference. Then every second the client sends the match between this NTP timestamp and a 16 bits packet number. Then with every packet of audio a packet number is sent to tell the server when to play that packet. It's obviously needed for multi-player synchronization, but even when client controls only one player, this protocol is used. The ShairTunes2 helper skips these NTP and matching steps. It might be what Airfoil / MacOS Airplay do not like where other client are less susceptible when these steps are missung. I'm not sure, but that's one hypothesis knowing that all other setup steps of the connection work, failure only happens when this sync steps are supposed to happen.
