Do you know if the speakers are discoverable locally, and what protocol they use for that?

I know Apple is all mDNS (for AirPlay), I don’t know anything about Sonos though.

Sonos is (or was) mostly UPnP with some extensions... so for discovery they used SSDP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Service_Discovery_Proto....

I messed around with their stack and internals for a while about ten years ago... some remnants remain

They use SOAP on UDP. I played with it a while back using Sonex https://github.com/harmon25/sonex Have a fork to make some things work under my username.
