I just saw this so I hope you haven't given up hope.  I'm not sure if
you are writing software to support this or if you just want to wire it
up and have it work.  If you are NOT writing software, I don't think I
can help.

I use a rotary encoder and buttons in a PI/Python3 project I've been
refining for about 27 months.  However, my project doesn't put the UI in
the same PI as the player so I don't know if it interacts with the I2S
interface.  I really don't see how it would since the I2S pins are not
the ones I use for the buttons and rotary encoder.

For the buttons, I use RPi.GPIO instead of pigpiod.  I don't know what
type of dependencies you have on pigpiod and having never used pigpiod I
have no real frame of reference.

For the rotary encoder I followed this blog post:
https://blog.ploetzli.ch/2018/ky-040-rotary-encoder-linux-raspberry-pi/
I use this encoder (with button) with my pi zero:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/377

In the blog post, the author also mentions using the same type of
config.txt/dtoverlay change to support buttons.  I haven't done that
because I had the buttons working before I added the encoder.  However,
I will probably change to using config.txt/dtoverlay for my buttons in a
future cleanup as the GPIO button stuff using the evdev interface looks
like it would be much cleaner and more reliable.  I also have a
touchscreen (from Adafruit) attached as the main UI and the events for
touch come through the same evdev interface though from a different
device.  Using "select" (or something like it) allows me to wait for
events from as many devices as I might need.

I hope this helps you or someone else.
