Fallback in the event of a fault
If playback does n't work, becaus e the Sonos playback queue is empty, the firs t
playlis t entry is s elected as a fallback. Announcements are omitted, however, s o a
following playlis t entry may be s elected.
Example: Playlis t entries 1 and 2 are configured as announcements . Playlis t entry
3 is not an announcement. The s ys tem wants to s elect the firs t playlis t entry as a
fallback, but it is an announcement. The s ys tem now tries playlis t entry 2, but it is
als o an announcement. Playlis t entry 3 is not an announcement and is played.
