The problem
When Music Assistant is playing to Google Cast devices, the cast devices themselves no longer have a skip forward (next track) or a rewind (previous track) option on the screen (if a device has a screen) or from the google home app on android / ios. Strangely enough a voice command to google to "skip" or "previous song" still works as expected. The Music Assistant frontend still has the normal next/previous buttons as expected.
This makes it so that devices with their own buttons / remotes are not able to control playback beyond play / pause.

As an alternative that works (without Music Assistant):
Music Providers
Spotify & Plex both exhibit this problem. I don't have any other music providers to test with.
