As a bluetooth speaker, perhaps yeah. To me, the title described a capability clearly. I might already have, for example, a KodiTV media rpi. Now I know I can add more features to this system easily.
General purpose computing is great. We can keep exploring & expanding what we do; being limited only by imagination is excellent. We could add public announcement capabilities, could have the rpi connected to webconference software, could set up music-playing daemons or internet radio (somewhat covered by KodiTV). This article was a clear way to state what capability is possible. And it's mostly all built-in to the latest greatest free desktop technology, requiring only a little glue to make the bluetooth connection seamless:
> It provides Bluetooth® A2DP support with optional codecs (SBC-XQ, LDAC, aptX, aptX HD, aptX-LL, FastStream) out of the box. At the same time, WirePlumber automatically creates the connection between the A2DP source and the audio chipset when a remote device, like a phone or a laptop, connects. This makes the configuration very easy, as PipeWire will work out of the box. We will only need to set up BlueZ to make the system headless.
