Describe the feature/enhancement
The ability to listen with another user would be super neat! Not sure how feasible it is, but it appears that listening is already synchronized with the server over websockets, so generating a sync play session and modifying the remote sync logic to have one session pause and wait for the other to catch up on some interval.

Related to https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/1045, but not exactly a duplicate (that is for syncing when not listening together, this is more user controlling the play/pause for anyone listening at the same time in the "group")

I'd also love to see a feature like this, it helps a lot when discussing a nonfiction book with a friend :D

I've been wanting this feature for a bit now so I made a quick prototype with some assistance from GPT. If I get it to a solid and maintainable state, I'd like to eventually make a PR but for now, for anyone interested in trying out a basic party sync proof-of-concept, take a look at my fork and I'd love feedback! I'm not super happy with the flow of it yet but for a proof of concept I think it is nice. Still several things I need to decide how to handle.
