If I'm doing a 20 minute talk, then I can dedicate 10 minutes to
each. If I manage that then people who are only interested in the dev
part can jump in only to the second part.

It could look like:

user-facing

* introduction
* installation and quickstart
* configuration examples
* the browser and beyond the basics

dev-facing

* Emms design principles: core, sources, players, playlists
* track metadata: how info methods work and the cache
* writing your own: player, info method
