  • Not sure if I'm mis-understanding what you're after, but https://github.com/badaix/snapcast sounds like it might be what you need. It functions like SONOS and other multi-room audio systems. You install a snapcast server on a machine, then install clients on machines hooked up to speakers, and it can sync and play music between the clients remotely on the network. Snapcast can be hooked into many audio systems: Spotify, Mopidy, AirPlay, allowing you to play audio from any of them. You can also install the server and client onto a single machine to act like a glorified WiFi/Bluetooth/AirPlay speaker. A popular pairing is mopidy and snapcast: https://bacardi55.io/2020/04/18/home-automation-part-3-multi-room-music-and-sound-system-with-mopidy-and-snapcast/
