module-tunnel-sink alternative

Hi all,

 This is my first post to the list, so I'd like to thank you for a great
piece of software, I'm having lots of fun transfering audio between audio
cards, and also between computers. In regard to the later I'm using
module-tunnel-sink - but it seems not satisfactory to me, considering that
it means the audio passes two hops, one to the first server and then another
to the next. Another option that the documentation refers to is using rtp,
but that is basically similar even if with different latency probably.

 Does anyone think that a way for the server to tell the client to switch to
another server would be a good idea? that would mean only one hop and still
allow changing the target on the fly, which is what one would want if, like
me, he has two computers in different rooms that he wants to listen to the
same music on, but *only when he is in the room*.

p.s. I'm having problems with the module-tunnel-sink as is but can't provide
any useful information except for saying there is a problem :) more
specifically, has anyone had success in transfering a client from a local
(alsa) sink to a tunnel sink and back again? I fail at the "and back again"
:( The application creating the sound is mplayer, and it just gets stuck at
that point (I'm using padsp mplayer, not the mplayer pulse patch - so maybe
the problem is in padsp?)
