I wouldn't expect it to be directly in Pipewire; rather, it'd be nice to have a Pipewire output sink that could stream audio and video to a device, with Pipewire handling low-latency provision of data, and the output sink doing hardware-accelerated encoding and streaming.

How could mkchromecast most optimally include support for PipeWire?

From https://github.com/muammar/mkchromecast :

> [mkchromecast] is a program to cast your macOS audio, or Linux audio to your Google Cast devices or Sonos speakers. It can also cast video files.

> It is written for Python3, and it can stream via node.js, parec (Linux), ffmpeg, or avconv. Mkchromecast is capable of using lossy and lossless audio formats provided that ffmpeg, avconv (Linux), or parec (Linux) are installed. It also supports Multi-room group playback, and 24-bit/96kHz high audio resolution. Additionally, a system tray menu is available.
