Neat! I hope we can add on a speaker, we use ours for playing audio

    if you want to use it as a media player, connect a speaker to the included 3.5mm headphone jack and control it with software like Music Assistant.

    It works well.

    I have done the same thing with custom hardware, ESPHome, and routed the output to my old Yamaha AV receiver with an IR blaster in the device for auto source switching and volume control.

    I can't wait for music assistant to integrate Spotify connect because right now you can only play saved playlist/albums or some recent music, no browsing.

    A media player component plus microphone plus voice assistant.
