New submission from Andrew Heard <[email protected]>:

Apple Lossless files that a created using ffmpeg -i filename -acodec 
alac filename.m4a do not play over iTunes sharing but do play locally in 
iTunes. Reconverting the file to Apple Lossless using iTunes does allow 
the files to play successfully over iTunes sharing. 

I believe the problem is with the ipod format, not with the alac 
encoder. I created an alac file using Apple's encoder and then copied it 
into a new file with ffmpeg and the sharing problem occurred.
ffmpeg -i alacfile.m4a -acodec copy newalacfile.m4a

I did the same with an AAC file as well and it resulted in the same 
problem.
