Greetings,
This is a great idea for an application.
I've tried it out on my Ubuntu 16.04 laptop and it's streaming to my stereo (using ChromeCast).
But, Rhythmbox freezes for about one minute after any song is selected. This is not the same freeze that happens when it's connecting to the Chromecast receiver. After it's connected and playing a song, it freezes RhythmBox -- for every song. After a minute Rhythmbox will let me pick other songs. But then the cycle begins again once another song is picked.
Also, the volume controls appear to have no effect -- it appears to be sending my music over Chromecast at max volume. This could cause trouble for people with delicate stereo gear.
