[xcode] Circumvent ffmpeg 6 ALAC encoding problem

The default ffmpeg ALAC encoder, "alac", requires fixed frames of size 4096,
but the Airplay 2 implementation feeds it with frames of size 352. Before
ffmpeg 6 this worked, but not any more. Seems a frame size check has been
added.

This commit doesn't fix this, but circumvents the ffmpeg error by modifying the
frame size that ffmpeg checks.

Fixes issue #1640
