With chromecast audio, this is not working for me:

🤔 catt cast https://cdnlive.shooowit.net/rtvalive/smil:channel7.smil/chunklist_b250000.m3u8
Casting remote file https://cdnlive.shooowit.net/rtvalive/smil:channel7.smil/chunklist_b250000.m3u8...
Playing "chunklist_b250000" on "Living Room speaker"...

The "startup sound" plays on the speaker, but that is all.

youtube-dl works for this:

I've looked into this, and there is definitely some minor issues in catt with mime-types and manifests such as this.
However, even after implementing a workaround, I still cant get any of my chromecast devices to play this using catt (the content inside the manifest plays fine).
