Code suggests support for Chromecast may come to Chrome for Android in the future

Commits found in the Chromium open source project, the precursor of Chrome and Chrome OS, suggest that Google may be bringing Chromecast support to the Android version of the browser in the close future.

Code first spotted by the folks at Myce suggests that a flag to enable the feature will be added to the Developer channel of Chromium, while the feature will be present but turned off in the Beta channel. It may take a while for the changes to trickle to Chrome Beta and then the stable channel, but the wheels seem to be in motion.

Currently, users can only fling webpages to the Chromecast using Chrome for Windows with a special extension installed.
