It looks like you have pavucontrol open on the laptop (twice). As it connects to all the sources to display a vumeter, an audio stream from the desktop to the laptop is necessary. It looks like also all the sinks and sources from a third computer "jenny" are forwarded to the laptop, further contributing to the bandwidth. Do you still see excessive bandwidth usage with pavucontrol (and possibly other programs) closed? Maarten 2011/1/20 Brian J.
