I'm not suggesting that the player necessarily has to be permanently visible. I use Philippe's bridge for UPnP. I have it set so that the LMS player only appears when the UPnP device is switched on and has been detected. I know that play cannot be initiated from outside of the Alexa voice command/skill (not 100% true but near enough - e.g. some are using web commands to make Alexa perform text to speech functions).
However, today, the bridge maintains its own list of detected devices and they can be configured within the constraints of the plugin (not as an LMS player). Perhaps no per device configuration will be required within the bridge since so little can be adjusted from outside however, I was describing ways that things could work like the other bridges do it already.
