PulseAudio sink for Chromecast

Application for creating virtual audio sinks in PulseAudio that send all audio to Google Chromecast Audio.

Application is in development stage. There is still some work to be done before it will be usable by end users. The biggest issue right now is that, Chromecast receiver app is not published yet. If you want to use this application right now, you have register it in Google Cast SDK Developer Console and host code on your own.

If you want to help in development, look for TODOs in code. There is also a lot of refactoring work needed.
