If you would be interested in helping, please comment on https://github.com/muammar/mkchromecast/issues/398 Mkchromecast ============ This is a program to cast your macOS audio, or Linux audio to your Google Cast devices or Sonos speakers. It can also cast video files. It is written for Python3, and it can stream via node.js , parec ( Linux ), or ffmpeg . Mkchromecast is capable of using lossy and lossless audio formats provided that ffmpeg or parec ( Linux ) are installed. It also supports Multi-room group playback, and 24-bit/96kHz high audio resolution. Additionally, a system tray menu is available. By default, Mkchromecast streams with node.js (or parec in Linux ) together with mp3 audio coding format at a sample rate of 44100Hz and average bitrate of 192k . These defaults can be changed using the --sample-rate and -b flags. It is useful to modify these parameters when your wireless router is not very powerful, or in the case you don't want to degrade the sound quality. For more information visit the wiki, and the FAQ. You can optionally install ffmpeg more information here). Linux users also can configure ALSA to capture audio. Note that sometimes the lag between playing a song and hearing may be up to 8 seconds for certain backends.
