Some of you may have heard of me before, and for the ones that haven't, let this be a warm introduction.
After hearing of the new Chromecast app with Beta support for mirroring, I decided to see if it's possible to enable for all devices. Apparently it is!
I assumed that some devices just wouldn't stream well, so I decided to mark this as [EXPERIMENTAL]. Please note that I did not make the feature, just the method to enable it.
Please alsenote that you need the latest version of the Chromecast companion app and root access on your device (not your chromecast) for this to work properly. The mirroring functionality requires KitKat 4.4.2 or higher.
If this worked for you and you want to send some money my way (Keep in mind that I didn't make the mirroring, only the hack to enable it), feel free to visit my PayPal donation link in my signature.
For those STILL having issues,
Check /system/lib/hw directory for the file "audio.r_submix.default.so".
If it doesn't exist, ask your device maintainer to add audio.r_submix.default to
the product_packages in the device.mk file. (You may not know what it means, but they will.)

Changelog:
Please note that I tried to provide a safe, universal fix, but unfortunately, this may STILL not work on some devices. If it does not work for you, let me know and I will try to fix it (again).
Please note that this has the potential to mess up audio on your device, but it creates a backup that you can restore from by "Disabling" the fix.
