I tried to install this, but it constantly fails.  
I have two Raspbery PI boards: RPi 1.1 and RPi 3b  
For the RPi1.1 I used the following OS'es

- Raspberry Pi OS Lite 32 bit Bullseye 2022-09-22
- Raspberry Pi OS Full 32 Bullseye 2022-09-22

and with the RPi 3b I tried

- Raspberry Pi OS Full 64 bit Bullseye 2022-09-22
- Openhabian 3.4.1

Every single time I try to instsall speakerpi from the "Manage palette" window or from shell ./node-red -folder I get a bunch load of error messages. This has happened every single time with all of the RPi's and OS's I've tried. I'm believe I have installed all dependencies.

Did you install [pre-requisites](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-speakerpi)

> ### Additionally you have to install on the Raspberry Pi
> 
> ```auto
> sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev

Yes, I did install libasound2-dev as instructed before trying to install the speakerpi.

</div>

then you will have to read through the issues on [node-red-contrib-speakerpi](https://github.com/O-Hahn/node-red-contrib-speakerpi/issues) and the underlying [speaker](https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-speaker/issues?q=mpg123_cpu) package where you will find several users with the exact same issue - may be some clues in there.

search for `mpg123_cpu`
