Ncmpcpp with no color enabled. Much better for my eyes!
I was going to spent some times trying to output the sound of my built-in speakers to my old Apple TV which is connected via a DAC to my wi-fi system, until I realized it is as simple as loading Pipewire RAOP module, pactl load-module module-raop-discover. Then, launch pavucontrol and switch to your Airplay device.
The Airplay system is now listed in the list of available devices.

Now, since Pipewire supports multiple streaming output devices, much like mpd, I just need to configure the audio source in their config files to get everything right for the next time.

/me is listening to “Amor Fati” by Washed Out
I guess all is working now ;-) I’ve converted my automated script that shows current track on the micro-blog (for casual IRC users), I’ll just need to figure out how to manage tagging and playlist management under ncmpcpp.
/me is listening to “Back In Black” by AC/DC
Trying out mpd in combination with ncmpcpp as a replacement for my long-time friendly TUI Cmus. I"m still in the process of discovering the functionalities. Everything seems okay on the mpd side – I even got MPRIS support after reading the Arch wiki (this Go solution didn’t work for me). I’m just looking for a direct way to listen to my music library without resorting on virtual playlist in ncmpcpp.
