Can third party AirPlay speakers finally be set as default in 16.4 beta?

[mongobongo]

Is anyone on the 16.4 beta and has updated to the new Home architecture? Can third party AirPlay speakers finally be set as default audio output for Apple TV or is it still just HomePods?

Can anyone comment on this now that 16.4 is out?

It's been a while, perhaps someone can chime in about iOS 16.5 or iOS 17 beta?
