There is a standard protocol for audio (and other realtime media) over an IP network: RTP.
But your problem doesn't have anything to do with a lack of standards; Amazon has no incentive to just let you send RTP to the Echo Dot on a port — nobody is asking for that, and they would have no control over the "experience".
- armagon 5y agoGood point -- I just put in a feature request, so now someone has asked for it. I don't see that this is any worse for the experience than the bluetooth situation. It'd certainly make the device more valuable for me. But that doesn't mean Amazon will see it as worth their time.
