I just made a fresh install of Moode 7.1 and followed the instructions for making a copy using an ALSA configuration given at
https://github.com/antiprism/mpd_oled/issues/65
It is working correctly although is a "little" unresponsive on a Pi Zero, as the CPU is generally running 95% - 100%. It looks llike Cava uses maybe 1.5x CPU with ALSA input compared to FIFO input. And, although I am using the flat setting on the Graphic Equaliser maybe that is also contributing some CPU usage (?).
Anyway, I am making good progress on the U8G2 version of mpd_oled, and this reduces the CPU usage by around 4% (of total available CPU) compared to the Adafruit library, which might be enough to restore the responsiveness, maybe...
