Speakers!!!

Following on from last months release adding microphones, this release adds speaker support!

These new changes allows the Voice Assistant to request the raw audio stream response from Home Assistant to playback without using a full Media Player Components. This has much lower latency and allows for a much more responsive voice assistant experience.

More Microphones

This release also adds a bit more configuration for the i2s_audio microphone components. There is a breaking-change that requires new configuration fields to be added in YAML. See the microphone documentation for the configuration details, but below is a small example for the M5Stack Atom Echo.

# Old
microphone:
  platform: i2s_audio
  i2s_din_pin: GPIO23
  id: my_microphone

# New
microphone:
  platform: i2s_audio
  i2s_din_pin: GPIO23
  adc_type: external
  pdm: false
