Their API used to allow this. It was all open protocols.

Are they starting to lock it down through API updates? If so, that's terribly unfortunate and I'll have to rethink my audio setup and future purchases.

Open, unencrypted, easy to reverse engineer with a packet sniffer. I hope it stays that way, because I built a project[1] that kinda depends on it. Should that change, my project suddenly requires a fair amount of annoying and complicated work.
