If I initiate music through Apple Music app, Sonos App shows “plying through Airplay” and there is no easy way to switch from Airplay stream to direct Sonos streaming without having to stop the Apple app, terminate it, than restart music playing from recently played on Sonos app. Sonos music search within Apple Music catalogue is buggy and slow so I have to often start music in the Apple app and then fight with switch streams. It makes v. difficult to stream music in the background when you want to watch something else on IPhone on the same time

How to switch from Airplay to direct Sonos streaming?
Best answer by buzz
If you are using Airplay, music is always passing through the phone/pad. SPOTIFY and AMAZON are more advanced and can play directly through the SONOS system. At that point the phone/pad can be shut down.
SONOS offers a free API that music services can use to play directly through the SONOS system, but developing the interface is the music service’s responsibility. AMAZON and SPOTIFY have taken advantage of this API.
