As you can see here I have been working to put a working HF version together of the original version, but I am hampered by the lack of a Kindle with HF firmware to test on. If you have one I would appreciate someone checking which of the audio support libraries I cribbed from Debian Jessie are working and which are not. The sox binaries and libraries appear fine, it is the audio support libraries that are in some cases problematic.
Well, at the moment I have two PW4 Kindles, one with 5.10.1.3 (pre-HF, I guess) and one with 5.16.2.1.1 (HF, it seems). To the 5.16 one I've installed kterm -armhf from here, python3.9 with Update_python3_0.15.N_install_pw2_and_up.bin from here, set up v2 of the extension (figured out there's no individual track selection after opening the sources though, that's a bummer), connected the headphones and it just worked. Python opens from kterm, the player works but requires some patience since the menu update is not instant, maybe I'll need to add GNU Awk in the mix.

Let me know how can I help, pointers to the previous messages containing important information will be helpful since you had some progress already.
