Chromecast No Audio For You!

As expected, the Chromecast Audio Experiment finished without success...

Was sort of expecting that for Linux, even tho I'm running Chrome, but what a hell... Chrome "syncs" ok with the Chromecast Audio, but nothing happens, sometimes it even crashes the whole Chrome (not only the synced tab).

But, I was more optimistic when it comes to casting from a Chromebook... I thought that the thing being an official Google lappie, running on its own Chrome browser... You know the drill, thing might be smoother...
Anyway, exactly the same problem, it syncs ok, but it doesn't reproduce any music at all (strangely you can hear the volume indicator pip when you scale the volume up or down, but nothing else.)

After the Nexus 10 loop reboot blues, re-imaged and got it on its feet once again.
Installed Spotify yesterday, in order to test the Chromecast Audio with the little lappie, but a problem showed its head...
After installing it, Spotify did nothing, except for a little icon on the top Taskbar that uipon expanding it said:

Spotify: No Storage Area Found

To put Spotify to work, did this:

Settings > Storage > Apps > Spotify > Clear Data

Start Spotify & login
Bingo

Now I have to workout why the tablet and/or Spotify refuses to scrobble...
Of course, as predicted, the thing with the Chromecast Audio is probing to be really unpleasant.

A couple of Chromecast dongles.
A new video one for the GF, and a Audio one, to test it out.
Activated both of them, the video one works A Ok (as expected) the Audio one (after a very limited set of tests) seems to be nothing but trouble... Will see where this goes.
