For the time syncs?  Probably, though I could envision other problems
with it (latency with wireless, for example: since 802.11 is a
half-duplex medium, with its own layers of correction, it would be
impossible to ensure a packet was delivered to both wired and wireless
devices at the same time).  That is probably why Sonos doesn't use
802.11 networking, instead using their own protocol.

Reliability or Realtime... can't have both.
