In case anyone was interested, the audio lag when watching videos / youtube / music using Airplay from a Mac/ OSX has been resolved with Sonos S2.  You can also send airplay to multiple Sonos speakers (although this was possible previously).

When watching Youtube / any video content, select one of the Sonos speakers from the main apple sound menu (speaker top right in OSX). You will only be able to select a single speaker here, but if you go into the Sonos App (on the desktop or iphone / android) you can then group speakers with the original speaker selected on the mac, and set the independent speaker volumes etc.

What version of OSX are you using? After updating to Catalina, I started getting an audio delay when airplaying video to my AMP from my iMac (youtube, netflix, local files etc). S2 unfortunately did not resolve the issue. I think its an Apple issue, not Sonos, since it happened after the update and my iphone and MBP stream video/audio flawlessly to the AMP.
