You can't add/remove CCA on the fly from LMS, but you can do that from a Chromecast controller. You can cheat a bit because you can control the volume either of the group (the 3rd 'virtual' player in LMS) or using each player's volume independently. If you set the volume of the grouped player to "ignore all changes", then you can set to 0 the volume to the player you want to "stop" - this is not perfect in a sense that now you can't any more control the volume of all players at the same time, but it works (tested)
