Chromecast Audio for Sale at Walmart! $48
It's all done with Mopidy + Snapcast. Mopidy has various frontends, but the Iris web frontend supports Snapcast and can be controlled from any web-capable device; it can be used to assign/change device groups, assign certain streams to certain groups (you can have multiple sources playing on multiple devices/groups and control them from there), etc. I also used the Snapdroid app, which will allow you to adjust things like latency, individual device volumes and stream volumes, etc on your phone or tablet. Beyond that, you can integrate Home Assistant and pretty much get it to act however you want, including being fully controlled via voice on both Google and Amazon (and ultimately Cortana, ick) platforms. Of course that takes some setting up that some wouldn't consider "easy", so YMMV.

Question on building a powered speaker to stream audio from google home
The Snapdroid app for Android is pretty basic. AFAIK there still isn't a UI for iOS.

Show HN: Ytcast – cast YouTube videos to your smart TV from command-line
Chromecast is completely closed-source, I'd argue against buying into that ecosystem.
Nymphcast [1] is an alternative, but wouldn't be compatible with existing clients, since the protocol is different.
Miraclecast [2] is an implementation of miracast/wi-fi display that runs on Linux. There is also a myriad of alternatives: vnc, raspicast, etc.
Leapcast [3] used to be an implementation of what you want (while using chrome as a black box).
There are some implementations of airplay.
