Slimserver has some support for this, but Roku support for slimserver is IMO flaky.

I have tried using slimserver with an M1001 and M2000. Synchronisation was not good – I could get one song in sync but they fell out of sync very quickly (like after a couple of songs).

Others have reported success with running a shoutcast server and having both devices connect to what is essentially an internet radio station for your house. There is more information on the Roku forums about doing that.

I don’t know if it is feasible for Firefly to be modified to support one data stream controlled by two devices, but I imagine it would be a non-trivial change. This is especially so when you consider that devices might have different buffer sizes.

In the end, as my house is rather small, the most effective solution was to just use one device and turn the volume up 🙂
