Check.  Doesn't happen if I skip the '--volume' option on the command
line.

Can you think of a way to narrow down the problem on my system?

I retested that procedure using `audacious'.  It produces the
following error message:

,----
| ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2162:(snd1_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable
| ERROR util.cc:160 [audgui_simple_message]:
| ALSA error: snd_pcm_hw_params_any failed: No such file or directory.
`----

That happens while using this device:

,----
|  1 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
|                       HDA Intel PCH at 0xf7230000 irq 29

Sounds good.  That way the chromecast device detection will be
skipped, I supose.

Ok.  I'll probably come to that soon.

You're welcome.  And thanks for mkchromecast :)
