Title: Fix compilation on osx/ios

Hi Daniela,

at least i can provide a fix for compilation on osx and ios. Though i think i'm the wrong dev for doing tests on hd bitstreaming on these plattforms. I just don't have the right equipment (only hackintoshs without native audio and only 5.1 amp).

As of gimli (who did the initial AE implementation for osx/ios) its not possible to stream hd audio either on osx or ios. Beside that he doubts that the ios devices have enough grunt to push the data. But he told me at least on osx we are able to do up to 8 channel LPCM. This should already work with HD Audio without any changes needed.

I think we need someone else digging into it with a native mac + hd audio amp. Maybe this might not happen before AE gets merged into mainline.

Well at least i got trueHD to put out static on my amp - not sure if this would be the right bitstream then - very unlikly hehe.
