[pulseaudio-discuss] Pulseaudio over the network causes "hang" in client apps

Hi list,

Been trying to google this problem without success, sorry if it's a FAQ.

I have set up Pulseaudio with zeroconf publishing on two Fedora 11
machines. I can see and select the other machine in the Output tab in
Sound Preferences. Sound output kind of works, but with a weird quirk:
some kind of crucial feedback information seems to be missing for client
applications.

If I for example run mplayer on an audio file, the file is properly
played back on the other machine. However, during playback, the little
line with numbers that mplayer writes isn't updated at all.

If I play a film clip with mplayer, the audio track is played back on
the other machine, but the film remain frozen at the first frame.

Other applications display similar behaviour.

SELinux and iptables are disabled on both machines during these tests.

Any ideas?

Regards,
David
