The problem
When using the Chromecast Provider, speaker groups setup in Google Home that contain speakers in a stereo pair do not appear as an available Player, however after a long period/overnight, it does appear as a Player and plays correctly.
However, on restarting Home Assistant or Music Assistant, the speaker group becomes unavailable again.
Google Speaker Groups that do not contain speakers in a stereo pair appear as a Player immediately and plays correctly.
How to reproduce
Create a stereo pair in Google Home with two of the same type of Google Home speakers (in my case I tested with 2 x Google Home Minis as well as 2 x Harmon Kardon Citation One speakers)
Create a new Google Home Speaker Group with the stereo pair.
Check in Music Assistant and the new Speaker Group does not appear.
Create a new Google Home Speaker Group that does not contain a stereo pair.
Check in Music Assistant and the new Speaker Group without the stereo pair appears.
