I would like to be able to stream the music to an Icecast2 internet radio server, which in turn forwards it to some hardware that can only play internet radio streams.
You already mention Icecast in the documentation in the section "I want to stream to Music Assistant" but that requires additional hardware and software. I would like some component that directly streams to an Icecast2 server.
A versatile way to implement this would be to leverage GStreamer. Which would be already integrated into Home Assistant via the respective integration. But I can't use that, since that integration doesn't work on Home Assistant Core and that hasn't been fixed in years.
We could define arbitrary gstreamer pipelines here (in Music Assisstant) and have it do various things, stream to Icecast, Snapcast, directly via TCP or whatever. I think that would be a good addition.
