We have 2 Amazon Echos and an Amazon Show. My tablet has built in Alexa and I
have the app on my phone. So yes, I'm being listened to all the time.

I use a skill called MyMedia which allows me to stream the music collection I
have on my Linux box. It costs $5 a year to the basic license, this is because
it has to be streamed via their server. Alexa security and network separation
and all that.
