[pulseaudio-discuss] module-tunnel.c: Server signalled buffer overrun/underrun

Well basically the tunnels connect and sit about and pump the data back 
and forth. When pulse is not running, silence will be rendered unless 
the sinks enter an idle state and are suspended.

Actually thinking about it, perhaps the problem is the lack of a proper 
idle state? Maybe you'll get more success if you ensure that 
module-suspend-on-idle is loaded too?

Also just to save another problem, if you are using pulse 0.9.16 through 
0.9.18, you should be aware tunnels are broken!

The necessary patches are on the 0.9.18-stable branch, so update to 
0.9.18 and grab the additional patches! 0.9.15 should be fine.
