Thank you for the excellent suggestion of using the ALSA loopback driver. I now have audio streaming remarkably well from my iOS devices via AirPlay. The only issue is that AirFoil audio steaming from OS X or Windows is pretty much useless and I was hoping to steam Spotify from a PC client. This is still a very nice addition to the home media solution, thanks for all the pointers.
