Airplay devices can't connect to HiFiBerry OS device if password is enabled

Describe the bug Airplay works only when the password for airplay is not set. Whenever I change the configuration to set the password for airplay source then it stops working.

My devices do discover the HiFiBerry device, but when I click to connect I'm getting message Could not connect to "<device name>".

Again, when no password is set everything connects properly after clicking the device.
