it is more than a week that I am trying to answer to your question.
With the new 9.0.0 the driver has not longer problems, but... it seems that the software for the OLED, and in particular the IR-Remote part, has a problem (probably with the new libraries).
To make it running, without the IR control, a line of the program
Code:
/opt/boss2_oled_p3/boss2_oled.py

has to be commented:

Code:
#   GPIO.add_event_detect(irPin,GPIO.BOTH,callback=ir.pWidth)


instead of


Code:
   GPIO.add_event_detect(irPin,GPIO.BOTH,callback=ir.pWidth)

I am still working on it but my programming knowledge is not so big enough.
Best regards,
Francesco

Hello Francesco
Thank you for your tremendous kindness to invest so much time and expertise into my rather niche / beginner's question.
I'm delighted an answer could be found.  

I do think the Boss2 is worth saving from going obsolete and basically becoming a paperweight.  Fwiw I have been running it on battery power and was most pleasantly surprised how very good it sounds.

Based on your and Tim's kind research, I guess the guidance for Boss2 users is to wait for your fix to be incoroporated into an upcoming revision of 9.0.0
Please correct me if I have misunderstood.

Thank you again.
Best wishes,
PJ.

Quick update: I installed the current version of Moode 9.0.0 and after updating the python library it works perfectly with Boss2 player. I'd be very happy to test anything that needs testing on Boss2 if the need arises.

P.S. Thanks to Tim for adding the new library in the new release
