Back home for some tests - this is unfortuately unusable. Sonos streams
properly from http://<my LMS>/stream.mp3 but the delay for start or stop
is like 30 seconds. Propably just the fact that this is heavily buffered
and the Sonos client just get the stream from LMS "as it is", LMS is
just a http audio server. Well I guess I will have at least to get back
to squeezelite and translate a few commands to Sonos as an uPnP client.
This will obviously be a long journey :-). I'v seen other threads where
people manage to have something similar, but not exactly that,
especially no sycn and lot of transcoding that I'd like to avoid. If I
cannot make it work with at minimum a sync between LMS and Sonos, then
I'd better stick to my current HW solution which provides perfect audio
synchro, just with that limitation that the whole Sonos system is seens
a single player by LMS
