Summary:
A device with the audio streaming over AirPlay plays the "Play Sound" "ping" sound through airplay speakers rather than device speaker. This makes the feature useless for tracking down a device lost in your house if you set it down while streaming music to an AirPlay speaker.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set device to use an AirPlay speaker (likely a bluetooth speaker will exhibit the same bug)
2. Log into Find My iPhone
3. Select device and click "Play Sound"

Expected Results:
The "ping" noise should play through the device's internal speaker so I can track it down by following the noise.

Actual Results:
The "ping" noise plays through the airplay speakers so I have no way of tracking down the phone.
