I can't seem to find any instructions on this. Is it possible and where can i read more about it/ find some example. Many thanks!!

Yes it is possible. The easiest way to achieve this is, is by configuring cava to print the values to stdout and use a Variable to listen to it. In my config I do exactly that. I then use a drawing area for the visualization.
