Just to make sure I understand your proposed setup.
Why do you need the "Analog audio routing circuit" and "Speaker selector
circuit" ?
Is it because you can't afford to have one set of amplifier+speakers per
streaming device or can't afford one streaming device per room or is
there some other reason ?
Typically, my feeling is that with players that support synchronization,
you want to put a player+amplifier+speakers in each room.
Such setup would result in that you only have to select which player to
output the sound from and this will likely make the remote control
significantly simpler on top of this it means that you only need an
Ethernet cable to each room so the cabling should get simpler (you might
even be able to use WiFi for at least a few of the rooms).
