[pulseaudio-discuss] Controlling where module-rtp-send sends multicast packets?

[Matt Patterson]

I thought about this route, but the issue is I don't want interruptions 
in the rooms already listening to music. Maybe if feed all four input 
sources into split out sinks (splitting each input into 4 null-sink 
outputs in the end), I could then attach the final sound card outputs on 
demand without interruption to the other rooms listening... I'm not 
quite sure how the layout would work.

You may be on to something here! Let me look at this and do some 
investigation.

Thanks for the idea man!
