We already have VLAN, please see my original post. The troublemaker is the multiroom control app. It does not see the B&O devices when in a different VLAN.As I wrote a few minutes ago, I'll give it try with mac mapping on layer 2 level.

I do commercial networking as a profession, and in reading that integration document indeed your dealer is correct. The App and devices MUST be on the same L2 segment for discovery and multicast. Going further I assume their 'discovery' could be as simple ARP broadcast and doesn't even support IGMP PIM-sparse.
Also not to be argumentative, why do you require a "..We are a specialized on high secure LAN/WLAN.. ". Is there restrictions inter-vlan? Using a firewall/IPS between? VXLAN or SGT for microsegmentation? Creating Vlans for the sake of creating Vlans in my opinion doesn't make sense, especially in a non-commerical setting.
You're going to need to flatten that SSID and B&O 'multimedia' to one same L2 vlan. Yes it's not 'proper' design mixing wired and wireless however not the first time I've seen such compromises. Industrial PLCs often for example don't even support a L3 'gateway'.
Quote below from the Integration Manual:
I do agree with davidr above. I have also found problems with HP and Aruba switched VLAN's when connections get complex.
The B&O app will only find equipment on its own subnet. Check with wireshark for further information. So for now you need to design around this.
I would start with what you are trying to achieve for the client.
Perhaps you have enough suitable equipment to setup zones on subnets. Each zone/room/wing being L3 routed rather than a L2 VLAN. Then with some smarts around the WAP's the iPhone will find the zones WAP and connect allowing the App to find the equipment. You could also wall mount an iPad for fixed rather than roaming zone style communication and a whole lot more.
Further to the above you could even separate out media servers into their own segment and run apps on the TV's with some smart networking to allow access as broadcast traffic is blocked.
Good luck, Beoaus.

I believe my reply was lost. You are correct.
Perhaps a zone can contain rooms, like a floor, or wing. Otherwise maybe look at the beoamp 16 and this link may have something in it. https://beointegration.com/uploaded/Idea_Catalogue_v3.2.pdf
