After your report, I realized mkchromecast is mostly useless in systems without pulseaudio right now.

See: > > gstreamer1.0-alsa - GStreamer plugin for ALSA > gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio - GStreamer plugin for PulseAudio Thanks for this info!. Yesterday, I was already playing with ffmpeg + ALSA to capture audio, but I think it will be a complicated solution to implement (cards' and devices' names may change from system to system). I had forgotten about GStreamer completely. Reading just a bit about it, it may be a possible solution. Regards, -- Muammar El Khatib. Linux user: 403107.
