It's not open source or free, but Roon provides multi-zone synchronized playback and has excellent Linux support (including x64 and arm easy install scripts). See:

Many Roon users use Raspberry Pi's as audio "bridge" devices for their various audio setups around the house. There's even dedicated RPi distros that offer Roon packages:

- fragmede 4y agoIt's not free, to the tune of $10/month! I'm willing to pay for things, but I'm sorry, that's just not workable. I'm not going to pay for yet another subscription service, especially one for my speakers. I was really hopeful for a competitor to Sonos too. Ah well, back to hoping Google ever brings back Chromecast audio.
