I'm investigating ways where I can listen to what's playing and then "shazam" it to identify the playing track (mainly for radio/podcast streams etc). I want to know the exact bit of audio that is playing - so it might be easier to capture the sound from the microphones instead of trying to capture tha audio stream. Does a URL exist for the microphones that allows the HA assistant server to listen? I can also see that AEC might work against me here - and if the audio is playing through the satellite, the AEC will automatically cancel it. So, can AEC be turned off when I'm listening?
#Does a microphone stream URL exist for the PE device (or any other voice satellite)?

during normal opporation the microphone is not streamed to the HA server. wakeword detection is done on the device with microwaveword so this does not need to happen.

Thanks @vestal gazelle , that's what I suspected. I guess what I'd want us an automation to trigger listening to the mics on the remote device (by making changes to the firmware) but not sure if AEC can be bypassed..
