Hey Sean
as I said I've setup pulseaudio via paprefs. I've enabled the RTP
receiver and the sender with a loopback device. Basically I've checked
all 4 checkboxes in the paprefs RTP menu.
And as I said, it also happens on the local host itself. I am also
receiving (playing) the sound on the device that is the sender, via the
loopback functionality. And thatswhy there is no lan/wifi issue, as it
is completely local. But I use LAN anyways everywhere.
@Chris (from the other mail), I am also using puldeaudio 16.1 on
ArchLinux, but sadly it does not fix it for me. :( Maybe you can find
the bug report?

Hey Guys,
I am using pulseaudio for years now, but since Version 14, maybe 15 there is
a crackling in the rtp stream. I've setup RTP just with paprefs, enable the
sender and local receiver on a separate audio device.
I know that I am reporting this really late and the bug is there for some
years now. I hoped this gets eventually fixed, but it did not. I am using
the latest archlinux pulseaudio.
Are you guys aware of the issue, does it also happen to you? It is just a
tiny crackling, but you can hear in on good audio boxes. It sound a bit like
the vinyl sound, just not so often. You can hear it on the sender via
loopback and on all other receivers as well.
Can you describe your setup in more detail? It's unclear if you're using
pulseaudio as the RTP sender, RTP receiver, or both.
Occasional audible crackling is usually due to buffer underruns. Are
your RTP streams going over a wireless network? If so, have you tried
increasing the jitter buffer size on the receiver?
