By manually installing the package "shairport-sync", I got to manage a perpament working connection to airplay.
Terminal
sudo apt-get install shairport-sync
Maybe installing this package may be helpful to someone else, too in order to get airplay running with xbian (worked out for me of the box with hifiberry digi+ and alsa output).
Very interesting. I suppose that Kodi is not needed anymore to stream music via Airplay to RPi's
Just wanted to note, that I was experiencing a similar issue. All settings were correct in Kodi for airplay, but my Kodi was not showing up in my airplay devices list on my iphone. After reading this thread, I checked to make sure avahi-daemon and dbus were running. avahi-daemon was NOT running, although it was set to "auto-run". I restarted avahi-daemon and now it works correctly.
