Multi-cast on Google Cast

Does this technology support multi-cast? Can we send 1 stream from 1 tablet to multiple TVs? I've googled multi-cast in connection with Google Cast as well as skimmed the API but have not been able to figure out if it is possible.

I haven't tried this, so take with a grain of sand.

How can chrome.socket be used for broadcasting or multicasting? Looks like a good place to start.

Chromecast does adaptive bitrate streaming in Javascript using the Media Source Extensions. (Mpeg-DASH and SmoothStreaming). I could imagine creating a Receiver that has the ability to listen to multicast traffic and play the A/V. It will be work, however.

If you are actually going to try this, email me at Google and I'll see if there are any other hints I can provide.
