As noted in the comment just above that line, ticking the box in paprefs can also load this module. If you are able to stream audio over the network, obviously some modules facilitating that are loaded somehow. Can you provide the output of "pactl list" on both machines (clearly indicating which is which)? Be careful, the list only accepts messages <40kB. Most helpful would be the output when there is no music playing, but you are seeing high network utilisation. >> Hmm, this really sound more like you have activated rtp-send. > > I don't think I have. ?How can I verify? with pactl list, look for a loaded rtp module. >> Well, other than what I described above, I can't reproduce it here, so >> it would probably not be expected.

That most certainly looks like raw audio bitrate. Maarten
