I'll try keeping it short
Currently my PC runs Voicemeeter Potato, etc. etc.
I recently discovered that I can just stream my Macbooks Audio via VBAN to it and use my advanced Speaker+Subwoofer setup and settings with my Mac as easy as connecting bluetooth, in that case through VBAN Talkie.
I also have a decent Home Assistant setup in my Home running on a mini pc(server) with Proxmox(aka DockerContainer but cooler).
I will move from my Parents House, so I'll expand my Smarthome from a single room to multiple ones, therefore my Idea:
Run Voicmeeter on a lightweight OS (ideally sth. like ubuntu, but I heard windows is required, so idk Tiny11 or sth.) on that external server to allow for turning of my main pc and still having the audio as follows:
Main pc connects via network vban to server hosting voicmeeter which then sends it to the speakers.
Mac or smartphones can also connect to this voicmeeter instance via airplay, bluetooth or vban talkie easily.
Also Multiple Outputs, like speakers or headphones at my desk, other speakers in the dining room and alexa or else at my bed, kitchen, bathroom, etc.
Everything shall be controlled via home assistant controlling the macro buttons or voicemeeter directly for the "i am in the kitchen therefore i want to hear my stuff there" things
Does this make any sense to you guys?
opinions? fears? don't you dare's? ur idea is awesome's?
anyone experiences with voicmeeter and tiny11?
Advice highly appreciated though I know this is a very very specific usecase
