Soro - For Sonos Hack 1.4.1 + Redeem Codes

This quick release adds the following updates to the Speak Text action:
- New parameters 'Override Volume' and 'Volume'; volume of the announcement, message or audio file playback independent of the current speaker volume. Please note that Sonos may have set internal upper and lower limits for the volume level in order to prevent the audio clip from being too loud or inaudible.
- New Parameter 'Priority'; A High priority audio message can interrupt another high priority one if the latter has played for more than 10 seconds. A high priority audio message can interrupt a low priority one at any time.
- Notifications if incorrect file formats are being used for the URL and Audio File parameters. The URL parameter only accepts .mp3 files due to technical limitations. Other audio formats are supported by the Audio File parameter.
- Updated the internal logic of the action to make it work more reliably and efficiently.

Also updated the Walkie-Talkie example shortcut as it was returning an error in some cases.

Update notes from version 1.4:
- ‘Speak Text’ action aka Intercom for Sonos
Similar to the Intercom action available for the HomePod, this action lets users to play messages (or media files) on any of their supported* Sonos speakers utilizing the text to speech features built into iOS, iPadOS and macOS and continue the already playing content after the message.

Users can set the voice and the language to any of the available ones on their device (downloaded under Spoken Content - Voices option in Settings) and adjust the pitch and speed rate as well.

In addition to using text to speech the action can take local or remote media files as an input.

- Additional new actions:
- Create Alarm, Delete Alarm and Update Alarm
- Create/Separate Stereo Pair

- New example shortcuts:
- Text to Speech
- Walkie-Talkie

Notes from from 1.1.11:
This one ended up being much bigger update than expected, but it has a lot of new and updated actions as a result. Hope you will find them useful. If you run into issues with any of the new or updated actions feel free to submit a feedback through the main app. Thanks!

*Fixes*
- Load Favorites (used to be Load Music) action initiated on the Apple Watch should execute without issues
- Load Favorites action supports Audible audiobooks
- Other minor fixes and improvements

* New Actions *

- Get Rooms (And Groups): Returns all rooms and groups. Includes rooms which are members of any group.
- Get Playback Queue: Returns the current playback queue. Default limit of returned items is 5. This is due to that the 'Choose from List' action (probably most common use case to use right after) is really slow with more than 5 items added (iOS issue)

- Set Relative Volume
- Seek to Track: Skip to the specified track number in the playback queue if queue is already in use.

* Updated Actions *
- Set Volume: added 'Ask Each Time' switch to allow dynamic input. The updated action also allows 0% as input now.
- Use Line-In: it shows both speakers in a stereo pair to select as input. (filtering to show only supported speakers will come later)

* New Examples *
- SonosBot: Lists rooms and groups with playback details and provides menu to choose various actions for the selected room/group
- Skip to Track: demonstrates the use case of the 'Skip To Track' and 'Get Playback Details' actions
- Airplay to All Sonos: groups all speakers and sets group as Airplay destination. You can modify this to group any set of Sonos rooms or ask each time.
