Comment(by takkat):

 After upgrading to pulseaudio 1.0 in Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 we are unable
 to connect to a RAOP device with a script using

 {{{
 pactl load-module module-raop-sink sink_name=RAOP server=IP
 }}}

 Replacing IP with `[IP]:Port` does not make it better.

 When selecting the RAOP sink, and move the sink input there '''from a
 python script''' the music player will pause playback until the default
 sink was restored. Connecting from command line usually works fine.

 Sometimes the `RAOP` sink will disappear silently, or its name will be
 replaced by a different name (RAOP replaced by raop.<Name>.local). The
 latter also happens when we disable RAOP discovery with '''paprefs'''.

 Therefore we can no longer use the IP alone (without using Avahi) to
 establish a working raop sink. As Avahi still is not capable of
 reconnecting an AEX after intermittent network corruption this is not
 really a satisfying solution.

 Can we do anything about this?
