I see you added this:
Depends: ..., pavucontrol, pulseaudio-utils, pulseaudio
but pulseaudio-utils isn't needed, as it is on the pulseaudio
dependency list.
In README.md, it might be a good idea to mention pavucontrol under
Requirements:, Linux.

Right. Now that pulseaudio is a dependency makes mkchromecast not
installable on most of my systems, where pulseaudio is a no-no.

That will certainly be useful, in my case.
I'm guessing here, as I lack deep knowledge, but gstreamer might be
another alternative. It's dealing with sinks too. See:
gstreamer1.0-alsa - GStreamer plugin for ALSA
gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio - GStreamer plugin for PulseAudio
