   Airfoil 5.5

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Rogue Amoeba has released [1]Airfoil 5.5, a major update for the
   wireless audio broadcasting app that adds support for streaming audio
   to Google Chromecast devices (including Chromecast Audio, the second
   generation Chromecast Video, and the original stick-shaped Chromecast
   model). The update also improves how Airfoil works with the [2]Airfoil
   Satellite app (for Mac and [3]iOS), adding support for AppleScript,
   displaying Airfoil Satellite instantly, and offering optional global
   hotkeys for playback control. The release also no longer separates
   speakers out by type in the main window, and it improves handling of
   missing audio output devices (both in error reporting and visual
   hinting). ($29 new with a 20 percent discount for [4]TidBITS members,
   free update, 14.4 MB, [5]release notes, 10.9+)
