from what i can gather its trying to use aplay to play audio but really what i want is for it to use the command paplay instead as i know that works for streaming sound to the speaker.
ive seen in the docs that there is a command section for audio ouput like this
I'd guess that you could just set play_program to /usr/bin/paplay and have it work. If you're running Rhasspy in Docker, though, this probably won't work right away.
Ive updated my pi so that it uses pulse_audio bluetooth to stream to the speaker which works by using this commands
paplay /tmp/h2g2.ogg
so all my audio now goes through there just fine when playing from any file source or on the web.
my profile settings for the sound output is as follows
"sounds": { "aplay": { "device": "pulse" }, "system": "aplay" },
When i go to the home page and try to make it speak some text it doesnt work and i get this error

from what i can gather its trying to use aplay to play audio but really what i want is for it to use the command paplay instead as i know that works for streaming sound to the speaker.
ive seen in the docs that there is a command section for audio ouput like this
`"sounds": { "system": "command", "command": { "play_program": "/path/to/play/program", "play_arguments": [], "list_program": "/path/to/list/program", "list_arguments": [] } }
would i need to implement this in my profile and is so could someone hint at what it might be for paplay.
Thanks in advance
