Device: Jailbroken Kindle paperwhite 7th gen Firmware 5.16.2.1.1
Hey everyone,

I’m running a Kindle Paperwhite 4 (10th Gen) on the latest HF firmware (5.16.x and higher). I’ve been trying to get the Sox Media Player working (both v1 and v2), but I keep running into issues.

With Sox v2, Python 3.11 is required. I tried installing the latest Python 3.11 build for HF devices, but it fails on my PW4 with “illegal instruction” errors. It seems the build was tested only on Kindle 11th gen and isn’t compatible with GEN 10 (PW4).
With Sox v1, it doesn’t play audio at all. It seems my Kindle firmware lacks the necessary ALSA or GStreamer libraries, or the build isn’t compatible with the HF libraries used in newer firmware.
