Could you build this?
Partial The Mac app UI is buildable, but synchronizing audio across heterogeneous speakers (Bluetooth, laptop, Android) with latency compensation and drift correction needs real audio-systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Build a native macOS app (Swift, CoreAudio, AVFoundation) that routes system audio to multiple output devices and calibrates each device's latency, probably using the microphone and test tones with cross-correlation. Keeping devices in sync over Bluetooth and networked outputs needs timing and buffering expertise, DSP for channel mapping and surround, and extensive testing across hardware. Experienced audio or low-level macOS engineers are required.
