New sonos app (on iOS and macOS) missing a rewind button when using audible audiobooks

The new sonos app on MacOS and iOS do not have a 15 second (or 30 second) rewind button option, or a forward button option which was on the previous app.

When listening to a audiobook it was frequently used to replay by a 15-30 second jump backward.

 Using the scrollbar is difficult when going back a short distance

Yes I was angry about this too.  I wish they’d turn that back on.  The saving grace is you can rewind or fast forward any time frame with voice control.  Example, Hey Sonos, rewind 3 seconds so unlike S1 you don’t have to go back 30 seconds each time.  I’d still like the hard key for when I don’t want to talk to the system out loud.  So Hey Sonos, turn that feature back on!

Is there any work around if your system isn’t voice control compatible (i.e. an older system)?
