Pabldi08/AirSend — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple Windows desktop app that lets me play my PC’s system audio on a HomePod over AirPlay 2, with low enough latency that it feels usable for normal listening. I want it to be a lightweight, free feeling alternative to the paid Windows AirPlay apps, focused on audio only, not screen mirroring.

The app should find AirPlay devices on my local network, let me connect to a HomePod, and also let me type an IP address manually if discovery fails. It should remember the last device, reconnect on startup, keep the volume setting between sessions, and stay running in the system tray when I close the window. Please make it stable enough that the stream stays alive, with basic error toasts and log files so problems are easier to understand.

If possible, include auto update support from GitHub releases. It is fine if this is clearly marked as early or pre alpha, but I want a working end to end version for Windows. Look up current docs online if you need to.
