Hey folks, I've been having a couple issues with RTP. I'm using pulseaudio 0.9.15. For some background, I have a system set up where I have one machine running module-rtp-send, attached to the monitor of a null sink. The receiving machine has module-rtp-recv loaded, that then attaches to a null sink. This allows me to hook up applications to RTP as if it were any other device. So far so good! Here are my problems: 1) When I make a connection and start to play some audio there's an approximately 5 second delay before audio is heard on the receiving end. These 5 seconds also appear to be 'lost', not just buffered. What could be causing this? Is this a known issue or a bug, or just how it normally works? Is there a workaround or fix? 2) Because I sometimes need to connect the RTP stream (being passed through a null sink) to a device instead of an application, I use a 'pacat -r -d <deviceid1> | pacat -p -d <deviceid2>' loopback. This will sound ok for a bit, but then gaps start to appear in the audio. It works ok if I connect the receiving RTP sink-input stream directly to the intended sink, but the system we're using needs to treat the RTP stream as a source device (hence the null sink, and pacat loopback). So obviously, RTP + pacat loopback doesn't seem to work well together. But RTP and the pacat loopback mechanism work fine on their own. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! -Jonathan
