A multi-platform plug-in would be fantastic for the Google Chromecast audio device. I have Android, Linux and Windows OS devices and I use them all.
So far, it seems Chromecast audio is primarily chained to Android when using Chromecast audio. I've seen some hacks for Windows and Linux but there is a dependency on the Chrome browser. Linux, Ubuntu and Debian flavors, well, hacks and alphas with unreliable results especially when there are library dependencies involved due to software repository versions. Ah, I know there are solutions for this but I'm thinking on the lowest common denominator, the nube. Chromecast audio is a wonderful but simple device, it has a 192khz 24bit DAC for uncommon HD stereo audio with optional optical TOSlink for those audiophiles with high end stereo modules and also the low end spectrum, those that have the ultra-budget garbage dumped acquired amplified computer speaker with rodent droppings embedded in the speaker grill. Chromecast audio serves them all but dependency on android platforms surely makes it inflexible to put it kindly. I surely understand the marketing angle for this but cooperation makes friends and a positive dependency type without the selfishness. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clementine Music Player" group.
