Echo Link and Sonos Playbar

I think I have found the solution that I am looking for, but wanted to run this by others. 

I know from reading that there seems to be various ways to use the Echo Link (no amp version)

 My proposed use is rather simple. I want to take the optical output of the Echo Link and run it unit the optical in of my Sonos Playbar. This will allow me to drive music through the rest of the house that is composed of Echo product, and my living room Sonos system at the same time. 
 

Any reason why this should not work?

 

 Thank you for your time.

    “The question becomes can you group other Sonos to the Playbar when used in the manner you achieved?”

    YES  

     

    “ If possible is there a delay between the Playbar and other grouped Sonos speakers?”

     

    NO

     

    “Regarding @Rowena B. comments...Sonos does not officially support the Echo Link therefore her answers were spot on.”

    Incorrect - she stated it would not work.

     

     

    “IMO it appears your post was intended more as a “gotcha” toward Sonos rather than insightful information for the community.”

    NO - my intent was to provide truthful, verified information. What SONOS stated was simply incorrect.
