I was never able to get it working on MAC. I ended up trying multiple
ways and doing plenty of research and troubleshooting, but could never
get any audio in the end. I ended up switching to using a 3rd party
Airplay Server like Reflect or Air Server and then funneling that stream
into NiceCast and having the Squeezebox tune into that MP3 stream. Sure
its not audiophile quality, but it works very reliably. 

I am a Spotify user, which was the main reason I looked to do this b/c
the 3rd Spotify plugin is lacking. I assumed I would have to Airplay
this, but actually the desktop client can be controlled via the Spotify
mobile app, so I can tune SqueezeBox into NiceCast and have NiceCast
specifically re-broadcast audio from the Spotify App and NiceCast has
the nice benefit of supporting track names, etc. for specific
applications like Spotify so track information comes across to
Squeezebox display.

All of this is fairly easily scriptable, so I can click a few buttons on
my phone to ensure all appropriate apps are launched and Squeezebox is
tuned in.
