Description
Multiple users have reported that it is not possible to control the volume of a device that Pocket Casts is casting to.
This was disabled by Google at one point due to legal issues, but then it was re-enabled and I confirmed that this works on both the Youtube Music and the Spotify apps.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing casting from the Android app and inspect the Chromecast integration that handles remote volume. Compare the behavior with YouTube Music and Spotify, then confirm that volume can be controlled for a device while Pocket Casts is casting.
