Can Sonos Roam have wired audio in? I assume it can, via its USB-C port and a 3.5 audio jack to USB-C adapter. The same way as smartphones, essentially.
It should just be some software business.
Comments?

If the USB-C is wired only for charging, this is not “some software business”. Besides that, “software business” could not be as easy as you think it is….

I would be surprised USB is only wired to charging functions. I would see the port being used by Sonos for troubleshooting.

Rearly? Dream on.
Now with the Era 100 & 300 which do have this as a feature, will the Roam also get this feature?

If it were capable, you'd think Sonos would do it by now; if only to sell more $20 adapters. The fact they aren't enabling this feature in order to pick up adapter sales from nowhere should tell you it isn't capable.
Yes, and the USB C port on the Era speakers can’t be used for powering the device, only data input (ethernet or audio). The chances that Roam and Era speakers are using the same hardware for USB is very unlikely.
Certainly the fact that it doesn’t is a good indication that there is some hardware differences in the electronics inside of the different devices. If it were merely a software change, you’d think it would be already done.
