Good news - Chromecast does work like a charm.

Good news - Chromium has this nice "CAST" extension that allows to
render website and stream it via Chromecast. Its then recognised by
Youtube player itself. It works nice with OSX.

Bad news - Cast extension crashes Chromium (Version 37.0.2062.94
(290621) (64-bit)) just after install on FreeBSD (10.0-RELEASE AMD64).

Still, something is already out there, just need some tuning, it seems
:-) Maybe a new release of Chromium will bring fixes and no work is
even necessary :-)

Best regards! :-)
