As an alternative to Air Play or bluetooth speakers for streaming
services like Pandora or Spotify, I think Google Cast for Audio is an
interesting idea.  However if a device that supports it has to work in
exactly the same way as a Chromecast; ie. an embedded Chrome browser
running Javascript apps, then a full fledged Squeezebox player app is
impossible since a browser can only connect to a server using a limited
list of protocols and SlimProto is not on that list.

Now if all someone wants is to stream from LMS then they can just use
the existing http streaming feature and cast a tab from a Chrome
browser.
