Just tried this out on RPi4 Ubuntu 22.04 arm64. Downloaded as binary from Github 0.0.15 release

I can see the 'speaker' in my desktop Spotify, but when playing a track it fails:

/opt/go-librespot$ ./go-librespot 
INFO[0000] generated new device id: 8689786ff7807fc2c3b43233fc96462fa98401bb

I use a HifiBerry HAT.

Spocon with Librespot-Java works fine.

Hvae a look at https://github.com/devgianlu/go-librespot/issues/29#issuecomment-2038153676, I think it might be the same issue.
