I have pretty much what you want, I use Music Assistant to for audio (mixing multiple YT and Spotify accounts). I have speaker groups setup from Music Assistant, which can be created dynamically (add this room now, destroy this room now) or static groups like "Downstairs", "Kitchen", "Library".

Consider Home Assistant Voice and Music Assistant, as they are integrated into Home Assistant already.

If not, and you're into DIY, you could look into Home Assistant which has Music Assistant to handle whole-home music.

I suggest skip the HA native LinkPlay integration and instead get Music Assistant.
