More specifically, I believe that would require a change in the Sonos API, which would need to be requested of Sonos engineering, as I don’t believe it is currently supported. Once Sonos does that, the various streamers would need to update their implementation of the Sonos API on their servers.

Read that as a most unfortunate ‘don’t hold your breath’.

Exactly. Today’s SMAPI specification has no provision for variable speed playback.
