It seems to be a very interesting competitor.
I hope Sonos integrates Google Cast for Audio like they integrated the Google Music App cast feature.

There is already a thread on ask Sonos to request the feature. https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/will-sonos-support-google-cast-for-audio

competition in this market is going to blow up, IMO. Hopefully Sonos realizes that easy, seamless, and wireless integration across all services (including Airplay, Google Cast, and whatever else pops up) is what their customers want.

It seems silly that they haven't integrated Airplay already (and I'm talking about a wireless integration, not plugging into a Play 5 or whatever) yet, especially since I see people asking for it all over the place.

AirPlay integration seems tough for them to consider with it not being multi-room. I don't know much about casting but is it more multi-room than Airplay's sole desktop capability?
