Music Assistant/Cast to Sonos

Third party integrations
1

I have a couple of questions.
I have Music Assistant installed as an addon.

  1. Should I also install the Music Assistant server through direct integration and why?
  2. I have a Sonos system (1 x Sonos Beam and 2 x Ikea Symfonisk picture frames through beam). If I add the Beam through integration I can see it as a speaker but I cant get it to play music through MA or another player when I select it. It only works through Radio channels in media browser. How do I get it to work like standard speakers?
  3. I have Google Nest which I stream dashboards to, but no matter what I try I can’t get it to cast Music Assistant, it just doesnt work with iframe. How can I get it to show up on Nest Hub?

Yes. Add-ons and integrations often come in pairs. Add-ons are independent packages running on the same machine as Home Assistant; the companion integration connects them to Home Assistant.

Not sure what you mean. Have you not got a media player entity associated with the device?

Thanks for the answer.
In regards to question 2.
Yes I have a media player entity, but what I want is to select a track in Music Assistant or in Youtube Music Player integration I have created in my dashboard, then select Sonos and have it play on Sonos. What I have now is the track is not playing when I select Sonos as a speaker in these two players.
