Which devices can you use the Sonos HTTP API for?
EDIT** Also, saw this SoCo API: https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo

Open AirPlay 2 Receiver
Not sure if you mean that, but the Sonos S1 interface has been reverse-engineered, see here:
https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo
https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api
This allows you to e.g. set the Sonos speakers to play any audio URI.

App will not connect unless I enable location (2021)
I gave no idea how to find you, but there are numerous open source sonos clients such as https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo out there that use the sonos API without requiring location services.

This has to be a reoccurring question so this is a warning for the redundancy: question about using Remote to control multiple speakers
This is possible to do but requires some programming using Python and the SoCo library https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo

Retrieving current playback status from Sonos web interface
SoCo is, to the best of my knowledge, the best supported Python library for controlling Sonos speakers.

Streaming pipewire/pipewire-pulse desktop audio to a sonos speaker
The sonos ecosystem is pretty locked down, but I found this really neat Python library and this CLI wrapper tool to control it, which is awesome! It makes it super easy to play any audio stream on the speaker, and I already used this for a little script for my dad to play some music that he only has locally as .mp3 files :)

Can we automate sub audio level adjustments?
I wrote Python scripts using SoCo https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo

python3 on Sonos Play:1
This maybe means it is possible to adapt some open source Airplay receiver implementation such as this one in to the firmware. However due to the very limited processing power and storage space the stability or such approach is still very questionable.
