The first beta of macOS Big Sur 11.3 brings the ability to set your default audio out to stereo paired HomePods, notes 9to5Mac.

With macOS Big Sur 11.3 beta installed, the system now shows a HomePod pair as a single option in the sound output list instead of showing each HomePod separately. Once you click on the pair of HomePods, the system will automatically use them to play sounds in stereo mode.

The site suggests that the new feature could indicate that Apple is finally planning to implement system wide support for AirPlay 2 in macOS.
