UxPlay v1.44

UxPlay is a GPLv3 unix AirPlay server: its main use is to act like an AppleTV for screen-mirroring (with audio) of iOS/MacOS clients (iPads, iPhones, MacBooks, etc.) in a window on the server display (with the possibility of sharing that window on screen-sharing applications such as Zoom) on a host running Linux, macOS, or other unix, using Apple's AirPlay Mirror protocol. Older iOS clients v. 9.3.5 and later are supported. When the client screen is not mirrored, Apple Lossless (ALAC) audio can be sent from the client to the server using Airplay protocol.

This work is based on https://github.com/FD-/RPiPlay, with GStreamer integration from https://github.com/antimof/UxPlay. Tested on Debian 10.11 "Buster" and 11.2 "Bullseye", Ubuntu 20.04 and 21.10, Linux Mint 20.2, Pop!_OS 21.10 (NVIDIA edition), Rocky Linux 8.4 (a CentOS successor), OpenSUSE 15.3, macOS 10.15.7, FreeBSD 13.0.

ChangeLog: 1.44 2021-12-13 Omit hash of aeskey with ecdh_secret for an AirMyPC client; make an internal rearrangement of where this hash is done. Fully report all initial communications between client and server in -d debug mode. Replace decodebin in GStreamer video pipeline by h264-specific elements.

1.44e: add 0x8c, 0x80 as possible first bytes of AAC-ELD audio frames.
