Tidal and Roon Issues with Volumio

I have a Allo Digione (Rasberry PI + Digione HAT). I have upgraded to the Volumio level that supports using the Digione as a Tidal Connect endpoint. I am also experimenting with Roon by running CORE on a PC and the Digione as an output. If I use either Tidal or Roon exclusively the Digione works fine. However once the Digione has played content from Tidal, I cannot connect to the Digione from Roon (error message related to Roon cannot open device) without rebooting both the PC and the Digione. Once the reboots are complete then Roon can connect again to the Digione.

Anyone know a solution for this issue?

Short of implementing full Roon Ready RAAT in the endpoint, I don’t see how this can be fixed.

In a Roon Ready device, the implementation has the responsibility to stop the Tidal Connect or whatever it was playing, then automatically switch to Roon without any functional or audio glitch.
