Comment 57 for bug 411688

You are right that this feature needs to be enabled first to make the bug rise. However I do not think that documentating this bug/behavior solves the problem. I do want to use music streaming, but I cannot do this as my router routes the traffic into the WLAN.

Lowering the rate is possibly not a good idea as it results in worse quality. The format is by default "s16be" about which I have no idea what a different format would help. I do not know if the data can somehow be compress further, because this would definitely be an idea, but I dont know the procols internal.

So the only left option is to solve the routing. For my personal setup there is no way to fix this on the router side, so the sender pulse module needs to take care of it. Using an ip as destination works perfectly and would be an option to use (which should be added to paprefs). However I tried that the last days and due to dhcp my receiver always gets a new IP and using hostnames would be a better idea.

But the module does not seem to support hostnames. So I am wondering if this could be fixed quite simple or needs a whole more work to do.

Another option would be to possibly create a port on the localhost and route that to the destination ip/name. And the kernel itself can do the name resolution. However I have no idea about that, but this could at least be a workaround to solve this issue.

Other opinions?
