In order to cast you have to install pavucontrol, and select the mkchromecast sink. But /usr/share/mkchromecast/mkchromecast/pulseaudio.py seems to expect commands pactl and pacmd to be available. Those commands are distributed in package pulseaudio-utils, not pavucontrol. Removing pavucontrol and installing pulseaudio-utils takes me further to: $ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 mkchromecast --debug --encoder-backend ffmpeg ('backends: ', ['ffmpeg', 'avconv', 'parec']) ('backends: ', ['ffmpeg', 'avconv', 'parec']) USER =foo PATH =/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games mkchromecast v0.3.5 :::cast::: sockets method 192.168.98.55 Creating pulseaudio sink...

Wouldn't it be a good idea to add pulseaudio-utils to mkchromecast's "Depends:" list? I should also mention, there's _no_ pulseaudio server installed on this computer. I see this in the strace: execve("/usr/bin/pulseaudio", ["/usr/bin/pulseaudio", "--start", "--log-target=syslog"], [/* 50 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) Does mkchromecast assume pulseaudio is installed on the host mkchromecast is run on? In that case mkchromecast is unusable for me as I don't want to install pulseaudio, for various reasons. And after that: pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused The other thing I'm wondering about is this: http://0.0.0.0:5000/ nmap reports port 5000 being upnp: PORT STATE SERVICE 8008/tcp open http 8009/tcp open ajp13 PORT STATE SERVICE 1900/udp open|filtered upnp 5353/udp open|filtered zeroconf My computer has two interfaces (eth0 and wlan0) connected to two _different_ local networks. Reading `mkchromecast -h', I couldn't find an option enabling me to direct the discovery to a specific interface/network. The chromecast device i on the wireless network (wlan0) while this computers primary network is wired (eth0). I also see some trafic to 224.0.0.251:5353 and 127.0.0.1:5353, which would be the wired network, I guess.
