The Sonos system and the other sound systems don't have complete control over the video unless they themselves make a receiver. Playing back music you can cheat with buffers, but playing soundtracks to video is much tougher. The latency issue and sync issues get much harder as the size of the buffer you're allowed to have shrinks. That's why I think playing back music, it can just build that sucker up and make sure everybody synchronize and have no underflow problems. And if you want to hit play on a movie and see audio and video start instantaneously, your buffer must be too big.
