Using built in sound card as a media player in Ubuntu Server?

Configuration
1

Assuming my machine has a sound card built in, is it possible on a Ubuntu 20.04 server running HA Supervised to turn that sound card into a media player that HA can use?

on my previous setup i had mpd & mpc installed and had it in the configuration at 127.0.0.1 and used that as a media player.
should work.
Just make sure mpd works as it should before you add it to the config file.

media_player 3:
# mpd
  - platform: mpd
    host: 127.0.0.1

I am interesting about this too but not familiar with linux. If you manage to make it and you if you have some spare time please give some instructions how to do it
Thanks
