I read through the comments, and to me it looks like module-rtp-send doesn't have any flooding bug. The data rate of PCM audio is what it is, and the network hardware isn't always able to handle it. Multicast RTP is not enabled by default. If the user enables it, I don't know what we could possibly do to not "flood" the network.
Since this is a common problem for people, there is certainly room for improvement in the UI and documentation so that users don't get so surprised when things don't work. -- 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
