I am running a somewhat oldish opensuse installation. Since recently there is an apple airport available on the network, with wired access (it is configured to offer wlan to guests) I wanted to try that and so changed the pulseaudio from .9.12 to .9.15 and built the missing module (which suse does not ship normally) I can load the module pactl load-module module-raop-sink server=192.168.2.31 and some network activity is going on. The output appears in pavucontrol I tried to follow the network exchanges, they seem to make sense and follow documents I have found on the net, with one difference: I could net see crypto stuff coming back from the device actually ANNOUNCE, SETUP, RECORD, and SET_PARAMETER are sent in this order and all get an OK response. At that time pulseaudio decides that there is currently no sound, and breaks the connection. When I start playing sound a moment later, nothing happens. Is this a problem related to the early version (in that case: is it possible to upgrade PA without reinstalling most of the system ... e.g. dependencies on alsa version) or is the raop module simply incompatible with airports that ship today Regards Wolfgang
