  Description     : use Google Chromecast / Nest as a Linux speaker output
                    via PipeWire virtual sink

chromecast-sink is a Python script that exposes a Chromecast device as a
PipeWire sink, allowing to use it as an audio output in any application.
It can be used as a replacement for mkchromecast, which has been broken
for some time. chromecast-sink also supports RTP-based protocol that
(some) Chromecast devices can use.

Once this is packages and accepted into Debian, I intend to file a
request to remove mkchromecast package.
