Well, Squeeze Ctrl on Android already supports Chromecast sticks--but
all it does is showing a "now playing" screen on your TV. I'm pretty
shure that more is possible.
I don't think, Chromecast will be abandoned that soon, the first gen was
a big hit. Oh, and the new Nexus Player is an Android TV box that can
act as a Squeezebox by installing SqueezePlayer.
