I did one special version of the bridge but there were mainly around
controls (I don't remember the details). For example, the echo would not
let me send play/pause commands so when you pause from LMS, similar to
when using stream.mp3, there is huge uncontrollable delay and that makes
the user experience unacceptable. The echo would grab as much data as it
can and so unless we give it just what the bitrate requires, it would
end up with that gigantic delay. At that time, the possibility to send
commands either directly or through a skill did not exist, the echo
would not let itself be controlled, it wanted to have control.
