Has anyone actually used an Onkyo as an Audio Sink? I have it set as default in Paper UI, and when I run this at the console, nothing happens:
smarthome:audio play doorbell.mp3
I assume there is something I am supposed to do on the Onkyo, or have it set on some kind of input channel, for it to work. Does anyone have a working config I can see?
Would anyone be willing to offer a bounty for this functionality? Being able to directly use an Onkyo from OH2 as an audio sink has a substantial number of advantages. I would contribute a few dollars to a bounty on this.

Worked like a charm, but then I noticed the Onkyo line and gave it a go:
openhab> smarthome:audio play onkyo:onkyoUnsupported:4fb0f6ef-76f6-efb9-66ff-ef0976b97fc6 doorbell.mp3
Just as I thought nothing would happen, the file played after ~3s.
Looking at my TV, the input source had changed to DLNA.
Even when already on the DLNA input, a second attempt was just as slow to start.
The Kodi sink was instantaneous.
Fantastic news. I was unable to get this to work but it was on a much earlier build. I am traveling this week but will give it a test next week when I am home!
I’ve got a TX-NR525 and it registered as a audio sink without problem. When I’m trying to play audio via the console (smarthome:audio play doorbell.mp3) my onkyo even switches channels and indicates it’s playing something but I can’t hear anything. So looks like for each of us it breaks in a different way. .
