As a side note: my Common Lisp Gemini client includes a wrapper script
that will take the Gemini URL of an audio or video stream and feed it to
mpv or vlc. It requires Roswell (but installing Roswell handles
installing a CL implementation and dependencies).

It's at https://git.carcosa.net/jmcbray/gemini-client/, but not entirely
bug-free (killing the script may not kill the player, which may continue
to play for a while).
