Thanks for that, but I am on gentoo and I think there are no more packages that I could emerge...also module-zeroconf-publish/discover are loaded without errors. Anyway, I don't necessarily seem to need them. I basically have the setup I want, with just some annoying things. First of all, when I play something on my laptop it starts off fine, but after some seconds or a minute the sound gets faster or garbled, then fine again, then speeds up or slows down, aso. Also, I actually don't want a volume for each sink/source/input whatever separately, but just need a volume that I can rely on. Right now, when I send the sound using the rtp sink, I can use alsamixer/amixer just fine, but when I play the sound through the local speakers, amixer changes don't do anything. I have to change the volume in pavucontrol. That's not what I want.
