As in: "if GPM can cast to sonos hardware on the LAN, maybe your proposed box could do so also, to leverage existing h/w".

Is that possible? To install custom software on the Sonos Controller?
I think it's not, not without reverse engineering the firmware. But even then... what if the Sonos doesn't exist in a few years? Most of the Squeezebox stuff is end-of-life so it's not infeasible.
I think building a super simple media server on commodity hardware makes for a better future.

Google Play downsamples lossless, limits to 20k tracks, and Sonos limits to 20k tracks.
Otherwise, yeah, all good.
