Looks like Google cast is the protocol and it's proprietary, while they offer a SDK, it does not appear to be open source. There is an open source alternative though. https://github.com/MayaPosch/NymphCast/

Sonos’s protocol is also same; if people want to develop on their platform using the protocol it is documented and there are open source solutions:
