For line in, is the ADC really not that good on an ESP32? Or is the signal conditioning circuit shown on this page workable to get a reasonable output? https://github.com/atuline/WLED/wiki/Analog-Audio-Input-Options I notice that there is circuit diagram on the page for switchable analogue mic or line in on this page - but from what I've read the digital microphones are much better options.

Haven't used this but you might check out this tool: https://jasoncoon.github.io/led-mapper/ it outputs for FastLED so I wonder if you could easily adapt it into WLED since that's what it is based off of (from my understanding).
