The data can certainly be compressed. I don't know if you've ever compared the sizes of mp3 and wav files. Typical compressed audio, when using a lossy codec, requires perhaps one tenth of the bandwidth that uncompressed audio requires, without too much effect on the audio quality. > So the only left option is to solve the routing.

Changing module-rtp-send to support hostnames doesn't sound terribly complicated. -- 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
