Are you trying to Chromecast TO your Debian PC (that is, you're trying 
to plug the dongle into your PC and stream stuff to the PC)? If so, then 
you'll need some sort of video capture card. This is not really what the 
Chromecast is designed for, but it takes all sorts :)

Are you trying to Chromecast FROM your Debian PC (that is, you have the 
dongle plugged into a TV and you want to stream something from your PC 
to the dongle)? If so, then VLC will (hopefully soon) support that in an 
upcoming release. Otherwise, you can cast a tab from Chrome using the 
"Google Cast Extension"[1], or if the web app itself supports Google 
Cast (YouTube being the most obvious), you can simply click the control 
in the web page. I don't know, offhand, if Chromium supports casting, 
but I don't think that's a Chrome-only feature.
