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).

I am using AirConnect for a few years now and i am also maintaining the AirConnect package for Synology NAS and Router devices on github: AirConnect-Synology If you have a synology device, you only need to download the specific package and install it on your synology device.

Got some questions before switching
I had the idea of streaming Shairports output to a Cast enabled device. After some research I found a tool to do exactly that. I‘m setting up a WSL instance and try it now. Sadly, it seems the project was abandoned, but if it works, a Pi Zero could be enough to enable casting. I’ll report back :)
