# What does this implement/fix? <!-- Quick description and explanation of changes. --> The MilkDrop visualizer no longer depends on Sendspin. The tap reads the decoded PCM the streams controller already buffers for the playing queue item, so any player can drive it, and because nothing joins a group or moves the player onto another protocol, connecting a viewer no longer interrupts playback with a handover. Frames carry a play-at time anchored to the queue's reported position, so sync is as good as that player's position reporting, and the beat schedule and track palette now come from the audio analysis and the player state directly.
