You will be able to play music via your BluRay player by using the DLNA Digital Media Renderer (DMR) it contains. I assume you have used Tools/Options/Player/UPnP Player and selected your BlueRay as target.
This works very well.
So, what you need is a standalone DMR. This could be anything that has a DLNA DMR client app and an audio port; an old Android phone or tablet, running any one of the many UPnP/DLNA apps that allow external control of their DMR (BubbleUPnP, UPnPMonkey, UPnPlay, MMA, even...). Or it could be a cheap, dedicated DMR. For instance, I have a little SoundMate M1, which cost me £18 delivered.
I've just added a Chromecast Audio 'Jaffa cake' to the digital media streaming options at Paranoia Towers, and that works beautifully with BubbleUPnP. But Bubble lacks AutoDJ, which, apart from the great library management facilities, is the killer function of MMW for me. If Chromecast multi-room streaming support could be added to MMW, I'd be in media streaming heaven...
