Followed by late response:
WARNING Got response without having a request: HttpResponse(200 OK, AirTunes/960.13.1)
WARNING Connection was re-established to device "Sala (L) HomePod"
What is expected behavior?
AirPlay remote control channel should establish via POST /pair-pin-start (HAP transient) and RTSP SETUP should succeed, then tts.speak / play_media should stream audio to Apple TV 4K / HomePod Mini with normal AirPlay buffering (~1-2s), as it did before tvOS 26.6. Currently it times out but late 200 OK arrives after timeout.
