Dear mbolo01,
Don't worry about your question :-)
Below is the "log file" of my app trying to stream AIFF file:

And this is the "log file" of my app trying to play ALAC file:

Based on the data above, it seemed that the player received both AIFF and ALAC file.
The difference is that when it played ALAC, it constantly updated almost every second whereas the AIFF did not.
