             Bug #: 44806
           Summary: Local PulseAudio->remove PulseAudio tunneling does not
                    work as well as PULSE_SERVER
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: PulseAudio
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: misc

I have a Pulseaudio networked sound setup, where one laptop is connected to my
HiFi through a mini-jack, and have pulseaudio configured to export the local
sound device, while another laptop is configured to access the remote sound
device for audio playback. It's a very nice and convenient setup, except that
buffer underruns frequently occur, resulting in really annoying fallouts in the
sound.

Using

PULSE_SERVER=<hifi-laptop> <audio-player>

works almost perfectly in terms of almost no underruns but this is an ugly
workaround and I'd like to keep the ability to dynamically switch between
laptop speakers and the stereo.

Is there a workaround or config I can tweak to increase buffering and/or debug
what the problem is?
