[pulseaudio-discuss] pulseaudio over network

[jeroen]

Hi,

I've got it working with Henning's guidelines. Unfortunately too much 
fiddling to write down clear instructions how to reproduce. If I find 
the time I will try to reproduce and put it on the openwrt wiki.

I'm really happy with the setup, still an occasional stutter though.
