A lot of posts here ask about a way of playing from computer/phone to Sonos, or using it as PA.
One solution, is using "SWYH" from computer, which is working - but has 2 seconds latency.

I found an Android application, that can send with 0.2s latency.
Download "AirAudio".
By default it has the regular 2 seconds latency.
Go to "Settings", "SONOS", "Audio format" -> WAV.
Now you can change the "Audio delay".
With trial and error, I reduced it to 0.2s and it's working great.
In other environments it might be slightly other value.

Now, the questions is - how do they do it?
And can we repeat that success in a computer program?
