For Mandarin alignment, are the PINYIN phonemes still functioning?

So great for the new pretrained acoustic models!
Noticed that the new models now accept the IPA-like phonemes, I wonder whether it still works if I take pinyin instead of Chinese characters as the input labels for alignment using the pretrained v2.0 models.

I tried but it looks like all the pinyin are recognized as 'spn', although I used the mandarin_pinyin dictionary.

The input labeling file is a .txt file with its content: jin1 tian2 de5 tian1 qi5 hai2 shi4 ting3 bu2 cuo3 de5

Found the problem. The Mandarin PINYIN (instead of MFA) acoustic model was missing. Wondering if that could be released.

Partly solved this problem by making a pinyin to mfa phone-set dictionary:
