Is it possible to setup a continuous cast from a computer?

[TriplEight]

The idea is similar to the one in https://github.com/muammar/mkchromecast which sadly has quite a latency.

Apologies I don't quite understand the question, what do you mean by setup a continuous cast? Stream a song / video, or something else?

[TriplEight]

Redirect all the streams or some application streams to the Chromecast device.

At the moment it can only load an audio or video file and stream that to a chromecast device. It is currently unable to stream arbitrary stdin. What is the use-case for redirecting the stream of some application? I think it is something we can add to go-chromecast.

It's possible to control i.e. volume of different streams in pulseaudio and such, on macos, on windows. It would be logical to also be able to direct different outputs to different devices. i.e. leave the messengers' notifications on the lousy laptop's speakers and stream the music to a chromecast.

Any news on that stream arbitrary stdin?;)

I like the idea of being able to stream from stdin, but I haven't had a chance to take a look at this. I'm happy to accept a PR if someone wants to send one :)
