I tried raising this over 2 years ago, and was summarily dismissed by the CTO. It was baffling then, and has only compounded since that this is not in any way a priority.
It’s not just the 2 second delay in control, but I’d also like to realise the battery savings by offloading the streaming from my server to the speakers directly, instead of the current hair pinning through my phone. Not to mention whatever bug fixes have been applied since its introduction more than 5 years ago. I appreciate the need to be conservative at times, but half a decade in this industry is blatantly regressive.
