So I just recently bought a playbar a little less than 3 months ago. As many I was excited about AirPlay 2 so I went out and got two Ones to support my surround.
Well after the updated you can’t use airplay 2 even though I have the Ones that are compatible because the playbar isn’t.
The only way to use airplay 2 is to separate my surround and then do a group with my stereo Ones and my playbar+sub. Only problem is there a slight delay when watching tv when they are grouped which is completing annoying.
I didn’t get the playbase because my TV mounted and the beam wasn’t even announced if I remember correctly.
I’m really sad about this since I’ve seen plenty of people buys Ones so that they can support AirPlay 2.
So the grand question. Will they support surround at some point with playbar.
Will Airplay 2 ever be supported via Surround with Playbar and Ones?

It's always worth a try to put pressure on Sonos...
Yes, you do. The proprietor (i.e. Apple) would have to agree with the idea of licensing 'Airplay Dots'.

Being realistic a dedicated Sonos airplay2 unit will never happen. There is licensing, R&D, Approvals, Production set up etc etc. All this would probably equate to within £50 of a One, then 2 years down the road Apple abandon Airplay!
The option is to buy a Sonos One, maybe on ebay of look for Black friday deals.
Me, I'd rather Sonos concentrate on their core product of the speakers and improving the apps.
