Rediedirecting audio to a VS1053 CODEC (using WebMite) on the PicoCalc?

On the PicoCalc (with a Pico 2W running WebMite MMBasic firmware), the ‘OPTION AUDIO’ command is permanently configured to use a PWM channel.

Has anyone done a successful workaround redirecting the audio to a VS1053 CODEC that would enable the PicoCalc to work as a MP3 internet radio using it’s built-in speakers?
