Description

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

There is a rust version raop_play can use ffmpeg to send raw PCM to Apple Homepod.

# raop_play version to play all MP3 files
ls ${MDIR}/*.mp3 | shuf | xargs -I {} ffmpeg -i {} -f s16le -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 44100 -ac 2 - | /usr/bin/raop_play -v 50 -p 7000 192.168.68.158 -

And there is a pyatvi can play to remote Homepod as well.

ls ${MDIR}/*.mp3 | shuf | xargs -I {} atvremote -n StudyRoom stream_file={} 2>/dev/null

I am wondering is there any way to just use mpv with --audio-device="pulse/raop_output.StudyRoom.local"?

Research direction

The issue references raop_play, pyatv, ffmpeg, and mpv's --audio-device option; start by comparing how these tools send audio to an Apple HomePod. Done would mean establishing whether mpv can support RAOP/AirPlay output directly and documenting or implementing a workable path.
