One of the best features of sonos system is playing different music from the same spotify account on multiple Sonos speakers at the same time.

When I use Google Assistant to start playing a song in a certain room, it works great. But when give a secomand command to play a different song in another room, it stops the already playing stream.

I believe it forwards the comannd to Spotify, and not to Sonos.

My setup is two Sonos play:1s, and android based assistant / google home app.

I will get a google home mini, and a google home hub

What am I missing?!

I think you nailed it.
You're technically going outside of Sonos to start the Spotify playback

If you just use the Sonos application, does it work?

You cannot play synchronized music through Sonos and Google devices. They have very different syncing technologies.
