[Connect] Show Chromecast on Desktop's Device List

[WHOAMI]

The idea is simple. Why create new features and options for connecting to a new device when its already developed?

Spotify can currently change the device playing music within a LAN in a way that is so seamless I jumped the first time when there were no delay. Why not use this already impressively implemented feature for chromecast? If chromecast was available as a device then it would make it a lot easier for us to use on the computer too, which is the main music player when anyone's home.

My guess is that a chromecast can't truly act as a device, but there should be a way to do this through some back-end trickery. Especially if there are unlicensed 3rd party programs that can cast (popcorntime for example).

I still have a problem only seeing displays (Nest Hub, "normal CC") sometimes, and sometimes both displays and Chromecast audios/Google Home Minis which is quite annoying. A function should be correctly implemented after such a long time.

The desktop app, with rare exceptions, fails to show my Chromecast speakers, only showing my TV. The first screenshot shows what I see in the desktop app 99% of the time, the second screenshot is what I see on my phone 100% of the time, and the third screenshot is what I see on my desktop about once a year.
