WebUpd8

I think this is the client I want to use for replicating my desktop like Max Hodak describes[1]. It sure has enough options for target storage.

It boasts client-side encryption, but the author says that "In terms of speed, Syncany only transfers the changes of files, so if you change only a couple of bytes of a 100 MB file, only those bytes which have changed will be transferred (+ some more)[2]."

Sounds like it uses homomorphic encryption[3]. I don't have the skills to read the code and know whether it's well done. Can anyone comment?

Not really a mirror but webupd8 host a quote and a video :

I'm still not sold, I found the UL-Corner positioning greatly aggressive. I'd put it in the bottom personally but I'm used to the Unix 'bottom command line' habit.

Otherwise it's one step closer to a contemporary desktop command line, in the video the guy even typed 'undo' in inkscape, made me smile. I guess having this common iterative search of nested menus will greatly help users, as it helped many of us in the shell or emacs (or any system providing this idea)

Pretty sure this is what you're looking for. It's a plugin for Pulseaudio that adds arbitrary DNLA/Chromecast devices.

Edit: And if you use Wine with Winamp, you can then steer Winamp to use chromecast as well. And as an aside, I also used Wine to make Windows programs (not the desktop) remote-run by running ssh crankylinuxuser@server -X -f "wine winamp.exe". And with Pulseaudio, redirection is trivial.
