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.
