What would be the best way to fill a tiny house with excellent audio?
The extra bandwidth from WiFi would be much appreciated, but it might be problematic to setup as a standard speaker on Linux. I found mkchromecast seems to be the best solution but it comes with up to 4 sec. latency (per https://github.com/muammar/mkchromecast/wiki/ALSA ) which is not acceptable for gaming and movies.
Video games won't work with >1 sec. delay, and it seems to be an issue with mkchromecast per https://github.com/muammar/mkchromecast/issues/61 .

[oc] ytcast: cast YouTube videos to your smart TV from command-line
chromecast is somehow expected to not work with ytcast since they don't use the DIAL protocol anymore but switched to mDNS for discovery. mDNS support is something I'd like to add in the future, but at the moment I don't own a chromecast so I can't tinker with it. mkchromecast should work with chromecast.

I found a way to use Chromecast with Spotify
This is a bit convoluted because we are doing Airplay -> Chromecast instead of directly playing to Chromecast, but I was having problems with the Mkchromecast with long audio delays of +8 seconds. With this method I have an audio delay of max 2 seconds.

Screen mirroring.
If you can confirm that your TV supports Miracast, try https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast and see if that works for you. It's got packages in the AUR with and without Systemd.
With that said, there are ways to do it. Miraclecast (see https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast ) is the most well-known Miracast implementation, but I've never been able to get it working - I got it to work as a sink, i.e. I was able to cast to it, but only at about 0.5 fps, and as I said, I was never able to get it to work to cast to another device. It looks like you might need to use a special branch of Miraclecast to do it, and it's a work-in-progress - I'm not sure if it's possible to do at this stage.

Miracast
Kick ass to see progress continuing on this great project. There's a PR for getting miraclecast working as a source for external displays, which would be a great addition. https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast/pull/455

Init system
https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast and https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl are prime examples of this second case, there is nothing they do that actually requires systemd itself, but they have no real way to run them without it.
