And, he did not say that Syd played violin on the whole album or song, there was just that one few seconds of him playing....

Sorry to day this but , yes, Roger Waters said on a video, it came right from his mouth...that if you listen very carefully to the end of the song, Wish You Were Here, after all the wind and stuff, you can hear a sound of a violin, and that was Syd. He said it, I watched him say it, so, yes its true.

A quick google search found this quote:
from An interview from the WYWH Song Book
Date: Sat, 9 Oct 1993
Interviewed by Nick Sedgewick
"N.S.: Didn't you also use Stephane Grappelly on the album somewhere?
R.W.: Yeah. He was downstairs when we were doing 'Wish You Were Here'. Dave had made the suggestion that there ought to be a country fiddle at the end of it, or we might try it out, and Stephane Grappelli was downstairs in number one studio making an album with Yehudi Menuhin. There was an Australian guy looking after Grappelli who we'd met on a tour so we thought we'd get Grappelli to do it. So they wheeled him up after much bartering about his fee - -- him being an old pro he tried to turn us over, and he did to a certain extent. But it was wonderful to have him come in and play a bit.
N.S.: He's not on the album now, though?
R.W.: You can just hear him if you listen very, very, very hard right at the end of 'Wish You Were Here', you can just hear a violin come in after all the wind stuff starts -- just! We decided not to give him credit, 'cos we thought it might be a bit of an insult. He got his #300, though."
