Chromecast Socket Problems

The problem

Since the 'unsupported' issue as part of the latest supervisor update, HA can no longer connect to my Google Nest Mini:

Now my TV is joining the party:

Same issue on my Chromecast with Google TV. All my Google Mini (nest) speakers still work as expected though.

I've started to experience similar issues on 2022.10.5. My Chromecast with Google TV connection is really unreliable, however my Sony Bravia with Google TV still works fine.

My google mini can pull from radio browser and play music just fine, and my local server with HA in the browser can play audio from my Plex just fine - but combining the 2 and sending a song to the mini results in it just turning to idle and not playing anything, this had been working just fine for half a year until about 2 weeks ago.

Is this wrapped up in this issue as well?
