As of now, you can't. It's laughable.. Google is really a very large company without any direction whatsoever. They don'tdoes not support integration of YT Music and Chromecast Audio.

For now, you'll have to use the Chromecast App sound-transcoding. You can find those instructions here, from your Android device:

  1. Connect your Android device to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast Audio.
  2. Open the Google Cast app Chromecast cast icon.
  3. In the top left corner, tap the navigation drawer More menu icon.
  4. Tap the Cast Screen + Audio button.
  5. Select your Chromecast Audio.
