Chromecast “Audio” not found by pulseaudio-dlna on 16.04
Multi tool use
I have a brand spanking new Chromecast Audio. I can cast to it from my Android phone using cast-enable apps like Spotify and Pandora. I can also cast to it from my Android phone using the awesome AirAudio app.
I can cast to the Chromecast Audio from Ubuntu 16.04 using either (A) Chrome's google cast plugin; or (B) mkchromecast. But the former is inconvenient (no media key support) and the latter seems to have huge latency issues (around 27 seconds) -- and it is also seems to require WiFi as opposed to allowing an ethernet connection.
What I can't do, is find the Chromecast Audio using pulseaudio-dlna. Pulseaudio-dlna simply does not see the Chromecast at all. This is unexpected because the pulseaudio-dlna does find my AVR receiver and my DirecTV receiver. And as noted above, other Ubuntu apps can find the Chromecast Audio. After reading the usage notes for pulseaudio-dlna, I checked for a firewall issue -- but the Ubuntu 16.04 computer does not have the firewall on.
Any ideas what is going wrong here?
(I tried posting an issue on the pulseaudio-dlna github page, but those are not generally answered.)

I was able to resolve this issue by resetting the router that was between my primary router and the computers that were failing to connect to the Chromecast Audio with pulseaudio-dlna. Some setting in the router (other than firewall) must have conflicted with pulseaudio-dlna.
That said, there is something in pulseaudo-dlna that operates differently than Google Chrome's casting plug-in and mkchromecast. Both of those worked under the old router setup.
Also, it may be notable that mkchromecast did not work with pulseaudio-dlna installed. So there may be more than one conflict.
[My primary problem now is major lag that seems to grow from about 2 seconds at the start of listening to Pandora/Pithos, to about 25 seconds after about an hour of listening.]
