To my knowledge RTP can carry pretty much any format. You said on the mailing list that you want to use Kodi to receive the stream, and I don't know what Kodi supports, but I would guess that it supports many formats.
Don't get too excited about compressed audio, though. I'm not volunteering to implement it, and it's probably pretty complicated to integrate to PulseAudio. In case someone is willing to take this task, the current "plan" (if you can call it a plan - it's all very fuzzy at the moment) is to use gstreamer to deal with the codecs, but in any case, please bring this topic up on the mailing list before spending too much time implementing it, so that there's an agreement about the design. -- 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
