[tvOS] Airplay Audio Out does not work with Jellyfin Player

[noranraskin]

Describe the bug

AppleTV is not connected to a TV with an audio output so I'm using an airplay device. To replicate the issue:

1. Open Control Center on AppleTV
2. Connect to Airplay Device (like a homepod, macbook, ...)
3. Open Swiftfin and enable the jellyfin-player
4. Try to play media
   This results in no audio output.

When the player option is changed to native audio output works without any problem.

Please see our player documentation here: https://github.com/jellyfin/Swiftfin/blob/main/Documentation/players.md

Unfortunately, at this time, VLCKit has several issues with AirPlay. Since those are on VLC's side, we're likely waiting on either of them to make a fix or, in the long run, waiting on us moving to a different player (MPV). Both of those are likely a ways away.

In the interim, I would recommend using the Native player for anything related to AirPlay.
