<p>It is written in Python, and it streams via node.js, ffmpeg, or avconv. mkchromecast is capable of using lossy and
lossless audio formats provided that ffmpeg is installed. It also supports Multi-room group playback, and 24-bits/96kHz
high audio resolution. Additionally, a system tray menu is also available.</p>
<p>By default, mkchromecast streams with node.js (or parec in Linux) together with mp3 audio coding format at a sample
rate of 44100Hz and average bitrate of 192k. These defaults can be changed using the --sample-rate and -b flags. It is
useful to modify these parameters when your wireless router is not very powerful, or in the case you don't want to
degrade the sound quality. You can also cast videos using the --video flag.</p>
<p>mkchromecast can cast using either pulseaudio or ALSA. The respective dependencies can be pulled by mkchromecast-pulseaudio
and mkchromecast-alsa dependency packages respectively. For more information, please read the README.Debian file shipped
in this package.</p>
