Using your Mini and AUM is absolutely possible with a modern iPad. See here:

Play Plus Streaming Audio over USB: Potential Bug?

[iPad & Play+ Setup Demonstration] Using an Apple iPad Pro (11" 3rd Gen. M1) with the latest iPadOS (16.6 as of the making of this video) Audio goes through AUM and is routed back to the Play+ Output from the Play+ then gets recorded to a ZOOM H4n Pro The important bits: Don’t launch AUM Connect the Play+ to the iPad and turn it on THEN you can start AUM By the way this procedure is the same for the Tracker Mini I got a bit carried away, sorry , the …
