Form official documentation (https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/remote):

... For Android, audio does not stream while the app is in the background. 

Can anybody explain why? Maybe some workaround exist for this?

This is working as intended (see 
https://github.com/googlecast/CastRemoteDisplay-android/issues/11). Audio is 
captured at the system level on Android, so if another app  is brought to the 
foreground, the audio isn't sent to the Cast device.
