time, IPv4 streaming is mostly impossible. So here goes.

You should enable IPv6 on the host machine and the AirTunes devices for AirTunes
to work properly. You do not need to do any configuration on the host machine,
as link-local communication is all that's needed. Unfortunately, IPv4 link-local
mostly does (can) not work and Avahi returns IPv4 link-local addresses more
often than not when discovering AirTunes devices. Any device discovered with
only an IPv4 link-local address will be ignored as it cannot work anyway.
