I'm using AirPlay to to stream some music from my iPad to 2 HomePods in two separate rooms in the house. I would like to still have the audio come from the iPad itself as well, so that it's coming from 3 simultaneous sources instead of 2.

I can't seem to find a way to do this: when I select the iPad as a source in the AirPlay interface, it drops the HomePods and goes back to the iPad by itself. Is it simply not possible to play the original device + AirPlay targets at the same time, or am I missing something basic here?
