Will Sonos support Google Cast for Audio?

It's been four months since the official response from Sonos. Could we please get another response confirming or denying the future implementation of cast for audio? Personally I'd like this as I would like to connect podcast apps, continuing playback when I get home by just connecting to the Sonos.
Yes. I want to be able to cast Netflix audio to my Sonos located in the bathroom without rooting my phone and using AllCast and AirSonos.

I have been waiting to use Pocket Casts with Sonos. Please make it happen with Google Cast!

Been doing a bit of research today as I am interested in a new wireless system.   At the end of the day, having an open protocol such as the cast for audio seems like it will be important for future adoption.   Based on this thread, I think i'm going to give the LG a shot.. probably not as good of a system, but has multi-room, google cast support and seems to be a nice setup.  http://www.lg.com/uk/speakers-sound-systems/lg-LAS750M

I guess that you could hook up a unit like this http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Premium-Extractor-Converter-VHD-H2HSAs/dp/B00KBHX072/ref=pd_sim_23_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0SFJ0ZS6K1B5E0N9B82V to a play 5 or Connect(/amp) and stick a CromeCast in the HDMI to be able to use Google Cast Audio with Sonos. Does any one know if it works? Didn't try myself. We cast through the TV.

I use that exact device to convert my Chromecast HDMI to optical out, and then run it to my XDA-2. My Sonos Connect went back and I'm just using a more conventional stereo setup until and unless Sonos or someone else embraces the Google Cast ecosystem.

Anyway, the converter works perfectly.

Looks like Nest will announce some audio products on 17th June - http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/4/8730145/nest-event-june-17-announced. Their other products are great and integrate with 3rd party services brilliantly (and they're owned by Google)

any update from Sonos team? Still not part of the Sonos Beta 6.0 that they release 1st Sept?

Hi Nico-sg, you can join the Sonos beta programs from your Sonos account. Here's an article explaining how: https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1795

I think he was asking about beta and google cast. Google cast is not in public beta. Right now all we know is rumors but no indication of Google casting from Sonos.

Exactly Chris, that's my point , I have seen the notes of 6.0 beta, and there are only 2 things.
- New Spotify Premium improvements on Sonos:
- Improved Live streaming on MLB.com Gameday Audio and Sirius XM.

Wondering why it is marked as a major release (5.4 --> 6.0)

I am not a Spofify User, but I am sure Spotify native app can cast, so instead of Sonos trying to catch up with the new improvements/services that each music provider delivers, why Sonos can't just support Google Cast standard, and then up to the user to use Spotify native app to enjoy all benefits of Spotify,

Not sure to understand why Sonos still forces us to go through their app to run music services, but this needs a change. Keep sonos app for room setup, pairing, update.... only.

There so many services out there who are making use of cast API. 8 months since Google Cast is announced, can Sonos share their direction

Thanks,
