[pulseaudio-discuss] Local and remote sink

[samuel]

Thanks for that, but I am on gentoo and I think there are no more
packages that I could emerge...also module-zeroconf-publish/discover
are loaded without errors. Anyway, I don't necessarily seem to need
them. I basically have the setup I want, with just some annoying things.
First of all, when I play something on my laptop it starts off fine,
but after some seconds or a minute the sound gets faster or garbled,
then fine again, then speeds up or slows down, aso.
Also, I actually don't want a volume for each sink/source/input
whatever separately, but just need a volume that I can rely on. Right
now, when I send the sound using the rtp sink, I can use
alsamixer/amixer just fine, but when I play the sound through the local
speakers, amixer changes don't do anything. I have to change the volume
in pavucontrol. That's not what I want.

Here's my current setup on the laptop (the server seems fine):
