Universal Serial Bus
USB, short for Universal Serial Bus, is an industry standard developed in the mid-1990s that defines the cables, connectors and communications protocols used in a bus for connection, communication, and power supply between computers and electronic devices. It is currently developed by the USB Implementers Forum.
USB was designed to standardize the connection of computer peripherals (including keyboards, pointing devices, digital cameras, printers, portable media players, disk drives and network adapters) to personal computers, both to communicate and to supply electric power. It has become commonplace on other devices, such as smartphones, PDAs and video game consoles. USB has effectively replaced a variety of earlier interfaces, such as serial and parallel ports, as well as separate power chargers for portable devices.

    USB3 and newer are already much better than Bluetooth on digital audio signal transmission, so I'd be surprised if Chromecast with Google TV didn't took the advantage of allowing audio input on USB. So, is there a way to “cast” the audio output from an Android device (preferable an Android TV)...
