Home Assistant Squeezebox Integration Breaking Change

The boffins at Home Assistant HQ decided a couple of versions ago to
pull their many media player integrations under one roof. Unfortunately
for us, we won't be able to perform a call method or query directly from
Home Assistant and will have to use their commands directly from the HA
interface. But the absolutely worst aspect of this vandalism is that
we'll have to use media player join and unjoin instead of LMS sync and
unsync commands. The down shot of which is that if you join two
squeezeboxes in a Home Assistant Automation for, say, when you leave one
room with music playing and enter another with the music following you
via an LMS sync, it won't sync them up until the next track starts
playing...

This means that those of us who like nothing better than to have Sasha
following us around the apartment spinning his vibes at us on weekends
with a three-hour long set, like some invisible sonic wizard, can't do
it anymore. The sync capabilities of the Squeezebox simply aren't being
matched by the tech that has come after it and we are all the poorer for
it.

Booooo! Why must great things be made sucky? Why? WHY?!?
