I don't think there's anything you can do about it, short of fixing the code. Instead of using tunnels, you can also connect the audio application directly to the remote pulseaudio. This method usually has fewer drop-outs. To do this, set the PULSE_SERVER environment variable when running the application that you use. PULSE_SERVER can contain the IP address or the domain name of the remote machine. This command, for example, runs totem so that the output goes to pulseaudio server listening at 10.0.0.3: PULSE_SERVER=10.0.0.3 totem ~/music/leila_k__cmon_now.ogg -- Tanu
