The license for the package is listed as MIT. But some of the code, e.g. here, specifies the LGPL license. What's the correct license for this package?

This node-speaker library code is licensed under MIT, and the dependency mpg123 is licensed under LGPL 2.1

Does that need to be documented in any way? Presumably anyone that uses this package is also bundling the mpg123 dependency. And I know that for me at least it wasn't clear that I was using LGPL 2.1 software, which could have ramifications for some uses.

I don't know 😅

Maybe like this: #168

Maybe? Honestly I'm not sure either.
