I believe I have the solution to the issue that the audio module's iTunes feed is not showing an image at iTunes.

When looking thru Apple's specs it says the image should be:

<itunes:image href="http://example.com/podcasts/everything/AllAboutEverything.jpg" />

Now the audio_itunes module in Drupal creates the feed as:

<itunes:image>http://example.com/podcasts/everything/AllAboutEverything.jpg</itunes:image>

so the feed validator find the that the href attribute is missing and blows on by this attribute.

Patch works perfectly and the image shows up in iTunes Music Store now.

Only failure left is that there is no itunes:category field.

If you use feedvalidator.org you see that it will complain, 'Missing recommended iTunes channel element: itunes:category"

yeah there's todo's in the code to add those. i didn't figure out a UI that i liked and then i got distracted by other projects. i'll try to work on that in the summer.

i'll commit this tomorrow
