Celebratory toot on the #homeAssistant front.
Solved a desirable feature for working with audio alerts and such.
I use a speaker near kitchen for alert sounds. e.g delivery people who refuse to press doorbells, etc.
When setting up automations with audio bits, it's onerous to run between my office and a test speaker.
Solution: set #VLC (which runs on my desktop all the time anyway) as a remote media player in HA.
Sounds go to desktop during development, and swap to alert speaker later.
