Hello,
there is no native support for that, but would the following scenary be even possible?
Thx so far!
so long
You need to pair the Speaker with the Jellyfin addon and not with HA, then it could happen.
I do not know if that pairing is possible though.
I would suggest another machine for the media player, which could be a virtual one.
With this setup you can choose your combination of apps as your like and the connected gear would be easy to handle too, without HA restrictions.
I use this setup to run 3 MPD services controlled by 3 MyMPD interfaces outputting to 3 IceCast2 HTTP stream services and 3 SnapCast services. All on one small virtual machine on the same Proxmox hypervisor on my Intel i3 NUC, that also runs HA.
HA is then integrating the MyMPD media players and the SnapCast services, which is what HA excels in…Control!
I’d love to see more about how you’re controlling the MPD and Snapcast services from HA. I have both services set up in a docker, working, playing 1 ‘source’ to 3 different clients around my house. I use Rompr as the player frontend, which is cool because I can reach it from any of the 3 clients. Seems to be difficult through restarts & disconnect/reconnect, different groups and client names are created in HA. 
Yeah, SnapCast can be a mess unless you really take control of it.
I use Node Red to handle it.
In HA I have 3 input_text helpers containing a list of which players that are connected to each source.
And in Node Red I update these input_text helpers whenever a player change source.
The change of source is also handled in Node Red where the input_text helpers are used to determine if a source already is in use, so an existing group can be joined or if a new group have to be created.
Here is the Node Red flows.

In my GUI setup I use the mini media player lovelace card to control the MPD player and then I have conditional cards below with mute, volume and 3 buttons for my source selection that is linked to my Node Red scripts.
Here is a screenshot of the setup in edit mode.
And here is the same in live mode.
Here is the vertical stacked cards of one of my players.

Music assistant handles snapcast apparently. Never used snapcast so don’t know how it works. Its a good setup for handling you music.
Never used Music Assistant, but it seems like it only handle snapcast as input, where most want it for output, because it is the application that handle synchronization across multiple players.
Never the less, the real issue here is actually snapcast itself, which have a tendency to go nuts in creation of groups and my setup handle this by always joining new players to existing ones, if there is a player connected to the chosen source.
Having found this discussion searching for a snapcast multi-zone solution, I just wanted to leave a bread crumb for anyone following me down the rabbit hole…
I can confirm that Music Assistant is a very flexible solution for piping music to snapcast clients (players). It can pipe multiple independent streams to individual players. It’s also easy to add players to or move players between streams directly within MA.
Installation into a docker container was trivial and provided everything required (MA Server, Web Interface, Snapserver) in one hit.
