killall pulseaudio didn't fix it, but: # chmod 0600 /usr/lib/pulse-10.0/modules/module-rtp-send.so
followed by killall pulseaudio again did and this will doubtless work until the package is updated. I have no idea why this issue popped up today. I haven't made any changes to my sound settings for a while and the timestamp on ~/.gconf/system/pulseaudio/modules/rtp-send is July 2012. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411688 Title: pulseaudio floods network with multicast packets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/411688/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
