The line-in source can be used to play to any and all other Sonos devices in the system.

Thanks for your answer , that's nice, since the only way I found to stream music to my connect amp was by airplay , now I want to extend my setup with a play one and I was worried that I will not be able to do it in the other room because play 1 has no line input, it would be nice in the future the addition of a bluetooth to every sonos speaker... 🙂

Just to reassure you, I've done the exact thing, in fact using a Raspberry Pi that emulated an AirPlay device, connected to my ZP100 (olllllllld version of Connect:Amp) downstairs to play audio from my iPad on a Play:3 in the same room I was in. Could even watch Netflix on the iPad but get the audio from the Play:3, with minimally noticeable delay.

Note that you may wish to hold off a few days on the purchase of the Play:1. The new Sonos One device is the same price point, and is going to be Airplay 2 compatible next year, whereas older devices seem to lack the hardware necessary for Airplay 2.
