 Here's the deal. I have pulseaudio daemons on both machines, and I want to
 play music through both of them over the network. RTP is extremely laggy
 on this network, but simply tunneling by selecting a different server
 works without any problems. The thing is that I want to use module-combine
 to get it through both computers without RTP. This is good because it
 means better buffer control than RTP (about 1-2ms offset instead of half a
 second or so), and less stutter.

 So I try this:
 load-module module-tunnel-sink server=tallyho.local
 load-module module-combine master=<remote tunnel> slave=0

 Then I move my stream to the combined sink.

 Works beautifully- for about 5 minutes. Then, the remote tunnel sink dies
 and the audio only plays through the local computer. This happens whether
 i use the combined sink or even just the remote sink itself. Here's what
 syslog shows:
 Apr 20 11:20:25 northbound pulseaudio[6792]: pdispatch.c: Recieved
 unsupported command 63
 Apr 20 11:20:25 northbound pulseaudio[6792]: module-tunnel.c: invalid
 packet

 Both machines are running Ubuntu Gutsy, Pulseaudio 0.9.6, over a wireless
 LAN.
