I first tried pipewire+AirPlay using the [https://docs.pipewire.org/page_module_raop_discover.html raop-discover] module. This was able to find the speakers, and created a device visible in <tt>pavucontrol</tt>, but I was unable to produce any audible output using it. The monitor showed signal going to the sink, but I heard nothing.
