Bring Multi-Room support to AudioPlayer API streaming

Alexa Multi Room streaming does not appear to be available for third party skills that leverage the AudioPlayer API.

Feature request is to extend support for Multi Room to the AudioPlayer interface. This could be implemented by adding a custom slot type for the multi room location and then adding an optional parameter to the Play() command to allow the destination room group to be specified.

This has 37 likes and 19 comments as of Mar 2018 on this URL but doesn't show up on this feature forum - https://forums.developer.amazon.com/idea/101848/bring-multi-room-support-to-audioplayer-api-stream.html - so posting again.

    Please add Multi-Room support for Alexa skills that include audio such as sleep sounds.

    Streaming is great but ... I have built a music collection over the past 40 years. I shouldn't have to pay for the music multiple times. Please add multiroom for third party apps.

    Would very much like to be able to use "My Media" for multi-room functioning with a simple command

    This is my MOST desired feature from Alexa after discovering Play Everywhere through Spotify. I'm an audiophile and have nice speakers all around my home, each with an Alexa attached (or by itself). The ability to play my content via aux input / media on my PC would be REVOLUTIONARY.

    Yes, I agree. This would be an awesome feature to have added. Please consider adding it in a future update soon.

    PLEASE add multi-room support for audio! I would like to be able to play My Media Playlists throughout my living area without so much effort.

    The lack of this feature - particularly since BBC radio withdrew their streams from TuneIn is preventing me purchasing any more Echo devices.
    Please, sort this one out.

    This would be such an excellent feature. Please consider adding it.

    I got my Alexa devices today and I'm surprised such a basic feature is not available. I have connected speakers but I can't play my own music to these connected speakers? Old systems much less sophisticated than Alexa can do this. I actually think about sending the devices back, as having my audio playing in multiple rooms was a main reason for buying a set of connected speakers.

    How is this not a thing? The functionality exists in the product already, just let skills access it. (facepalm)

    This is the one thing that holds me back from fully relying on Echo's for music for our house. We have a lot of locally stored music that is from bands that will never be on Amazon's music services, and would like to play them throughout the house.
