Defaulting music output to Sonos speaker from echo?

At present I say, "Alexa play x on lounge" which works well.

Is it possible to default all music output to 'lounge' without having to say it, example, "Alexa play x" and it plays on my Sonos 'lounge' speaker?

the other advantage would be if linked to a sonos unit then only that sonos unit would duck in volume with command - not the entire system like it does now.

Sonos has said they are working with Amazon to be able to link echo unit to sonos speaker so that it works as you say.

The Sonos One works that way currently.

Yes, that would be a huge step forward in usability if combined with Alexa-enabled smart groups and you could make a Sonos device the default device for playing music in that group.
