Does it work if you set the speed before casting?

AFAIK, and as long as I can remember, Google's cast eco-system has never supported variable playback speeds. If this has changed, I'd be happy to be corrected, though.

It seems you are correct. I just read through their Google Dev Audio Cast Guide and it made no mention of speed controls or variable playback in the guide or the API docs. Bit of a bummer, hopefully that will change in the future.

Ah okay that's interesting since the exoplayer casting part of the library has an option to pass in playback speed which I am doing
