Roku Private Listening stream mp3
Are there any technical details available about the stream format, uri, port, etc. that are used with the "private listening" feature? Is it a regular MP3 style radio stream, or RTSP/RTP or similar? ...

I also, would like to have this information. I intend to use it to play the sound through assistive hearing devices as I suffer from a hearing disability. I sure hope roku is cooperative in accommodating Americans with disabilities by sharing how the app connects for 'private listening'.
I did some investigation and found it uses WebSockets to set audio to stream to an RTP port. That could be useful. However, the WebSocket session starts with an auth challenge and required response that appears designed to prevent anyone using this mechanism without having a some sort of secret password or certificate. Thus, without dev support from Roku, unfortunately I believe it is not possible to access this feature.
You sir (or madame), are absolutely awesome! Thank you for figuring this out!
Does anyone know if private listening is a lossy stream like Bluetooth or lossless stream like Apple’s Airplay?
