Audio is one of the easiest if not THE easiest to do wirelessly. Why ANYONE would use this proprietary bullshit is beyond me. I'm looking at my girlfriends Sonos that we never use anymore once I put a shitty sound-bar on the theater TV which sounds better, and we can chromecast anything we want to it or just flip to the HTPC and use it like a computer.
Eat billionaires. Fuck corporations. Open. Source. Everything!
Isn't Chromecast proprietary though?

Sonos’s protocol is also same; if people want to develop on their platform using the protocol it is documented and there are open source solutions:
