So far it is only possible to use SONOS and Apple Airplay when connecting a SONOS Connect or Play:5 with an additional Apple device supporting AirPlay (e.g. Airport Express). Therefore, the idea is to develop a SONOS Bridge which has integrated support for Apple AirPlay without additional hardware.
Benefits would be in this case that
- no additional hardware and cabeling is necessary to use AirPlay in the SONOS system
- one could easily allow guests to quickly output their audio to the SONOS system
- all iOS devices would be supported as a sources without further software
- with an appropriate AirPlay software on PC / Mac one could even send audio from there into the Sonos audio system
The Sonos controller could then represent this "AirPlay input" as a new audio source within the complete SONOS system.

Not sure why Sonos don't just natively support AirPlay... Why make it so complicated?
#1 feature preventing me expanding sonos and going to airplay systems - CMON SONOS
This would be wicked useful especially since one of the sources I listen to is cutting integration to Sonos. 8tracks
