[pulseaudio-discuss] Module-tunnel unloading itself - protocol error, kicking client.

[Colin Guthrie]

Hi,

Just playing with my home setup after upgrading to 0.9.8 from 0.9.6 and
seem to have a problem whereby I cannot get the tunnel to work properly.

The server is started with auth-anonymous=1 but I can't seem to get the
tunnel to stay alive.

Running a client machine with PULSE_SERVER env var works fine and the
output comes through perfectly so physically things work. I'm just
wondering why the tunnel wont stay alive?

Is there something special that needs to be done with the networks
settings/tcp window sizes etc? It works fine for me at work but not at
home.... it does cross subnets at home but I've tried it direct too and
it still seems to die :s

Client is x86_64 and client is i586, but I've played music via a tunnel
all day today with the same setup at work. The server at home is an EPIA
in an NFS root fs (read-only). Any thoughts/musings welcome :)
