#496: Airport Express is locked after stopping an RAOP stream -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Reporter: clconway | Owner: coling Type: defect | Status: assigned Milestone: | Component: module-raop-* Resolution: | Keywords: module-raop-sink -----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Comment(by throughnothing): I've noticed (by using nethogs) that whenever I check the "Make discoverable Apple AirTunes sound devices available locally" box in the PulseAudio Preferences, that it instantly finds my Airport Express, and pulse audio begins to chew up network, apparently sending to the device. As soon as I turn this option on, pulseaudio sends a steady stream of 150k/s to up to 300k/s presumably to the airport express. Of course this happens when no sounds are playing from my computer at all. As soon as I uncheck that option in the preferences, all of the network traffic stops. When I'm doing this test, I disable all other network stuff in pulseaudio, so I'm not positive if this bug/behavior spills over into other pulsaudio network shares, etc. Is it standard for pulseaudio to constantly send (presumably) empty data to network sinks just because they exist? This seems pretty wasteful, and it forces me to turn off this option except when I actually want to use it just because it eats up my bandwidth and hits my network pretty hard. -- Ticket URL: <http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/496#comment:3> PulseAudio <http://pulseaudio.org/> The PulseAudio Sound Server _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets
