I'm looking to build a new player for a child's bedroom and I found the raspberry pi zero W based scroll bot:
https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/scroll-bot-pi-zero-w-project-kit Pairing this up with a small powered speaker looks ideal for my needs. I was hoping the LED display could be used to "speak" the audio as it will mostly be used to play audio books. Unfortunately, I have little to no experience with audio programming so thought I'd post my idea here to see if it seemed viable. My plan is to use squeezelite as the player. And output the audio to the ALSA loop back device. Then use JACK to read the audio output, calculate the fft to produce a spectrum analysis to output to the LED display and then pass through the audio untouched to the main ALSA output (will be via HDMI out). The LED display looks to require python to access it, and python looks to have JACK libraries so I think the theory is sound. It would be ideal if I could use piCorePlayer but I think the additional requirements (python, JACK etc) means it's going to be simpler to run a full raspbian image.
