Bose SoundTouch WiFi Audio Streaming
There are a few dockers that seem to be able to do what you want. Some can stream local audio to airplay devices what might work with a bit of scripting for your white noise and others might work as a Chromecast to Airplay bridge https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect https://github.com/1activegeek/docker-airconnect
- Is there a project similar to shairport-sync to serve a chrome cast server?

Sonos One Bundle as multimedia system (movies and games)
AirConnect - "Use these applications to add AirPlay capabilities to Chromecast and UPnP (like Sonos) players, to make them appear as AirPlay devices. AirConnect can run on any machine that has access to your local network (Windows, MacOS, Linux -x86, x64 and ARM, Solaris and FreeBSD). It does not need to be on your main computer. (For example, a Raspberry Pi works well). It will detect UPnP/Sonos/Chromecast players, create as many virtual AirPlay devices as needed, and act as a bridge/proxy between AirPlay clients (iPhone, iPad, iTunes, MacOS, AirFoil ...) and the real UPnP/Sonos/Chromecast players."

Got some questions before switching
I've installed AirConnect on my Pi and it's working great so far. I can even pause and stop playback from my Home Mini. (Skipping doesn't seem to work). Even groups work. (For those interested, it should also support other devices like older Sonos speakers).

Setting up a home media PC to stream to TV
You can give a try to apps like Universal Media Server, they usually do the trick on Windows.

Best NAS software allowing public & private personal shared folders.
This is a separate unrelated concern. For video plex (requires some cloud accounts), jellyfin (no cloud needed), or even just a basic dlna server since you only care about local access could work. For music the above can do it to varying degrees but there's also music-specific servers like Navidrome and for photos if you want a google photos-esque experience there's PhotoPrism

Help needed to stream videos by DLNA server.
I used this program for that Cause I had no idea how to use the DLNA Server from windows https://www.universalmediaserver.com/ Here you can add your own root folder and see all files from that folder
Sure. But if I remember well, the first model didn't have that option. When I enter the internet navigation menu, I have on the left side bars to click on, like media, history, files, etc. One of them is network, where you have the Wi-Fi servers that are available to you. To make your pc as a DLNA device it needs Wi-Fi capability. Don't forget to turn it on. You also need to install a program named Universal Media Server. (https://www.universalmediaserver.com/) Now you can access your media files directly from your computer. I have 3d SBS movies with sizes over 30 GB each. The don't fit on my phone.

A simple guide to streaming pirated content on your smart TV
There's also UniversalMediaServer that's based on Java but is a bit on the heavy side (>100MB on idle). But has great external subtitle support, multi-directory, meta-data among other things. Not what I would consider simple but worth mentioning as it ran without any issues.
