This is really cool congrats!

I'm not sure this is solvable as such but out of interest I tried
pairing with a couple of Amazon Echo Dots I have.

And they connect right up, appear as players and I can play LMS to them.
:)

But it all doesn't quite work 100% and I'm not sure even if these issues
are really solvable.


So clearly with an Echo it has a whole host of uses.

As it is now, if when playing as an LMS player I say :

"Alexa stop"  It stops.  Well actually it's probably technically still
playing but the Echo has stopped it's actions and blocked it.

All following Alexa commands then result in the Echo performing as an
Echo device.


Now in this state if I go into LMS and play something new to the Echo it
doesn't play and the only way I seem to be able to recover the LMS
control is to disconnect and reconnect.   And on reconnect it
immediately continues playing the previous LMS track.

So I guess I'm wondering if some better interaction between LMS and an
Echo via bluetooth is possible, such that say you play an LMS track
targeting the Echo and it is then able to "interrupt" whatever the Echo
is doing and "takeover".  And vice versa, if playing an LMS track then
an Alexa command should override, which as mentioned above it already
does, but perhaps pausing the LMS track that was playing at the time is
possible?
