Cant config Linkplay with my Edifier MA3

This is a strange device because there is no mac field in its linkplay description file.

@VergilGao Just tried to look up the "Edifier MA3", but couldn't find them. There is a model named "Edifier MR3", but this one doesn't have wifi and is therefor definitely not Linkplay-compatible as Linkplay is DLNA-based and only works via TCP/IP. Afaik, the only Speakers by Edifier supporting Linkplay are the MS50-A and the S1000-W. Imho this issue might be therefor invalid. If I'm missing smth, please correct me!

This is a co-branded device that was exclusively sold in China about 7 years ago. The co-branded brand has been shut down. I found that it has the same web configuration page as other LinkPlay devices, so I started trying to control it using the LinkPlay protocol.
