totem fails to a video's audio to network pulseaudio server

[sam tygier]

Binary package hint: totem

I have set up pulseaudio on a remote machine 192.168.1.99 to receive audio over the network. on another machine i can do:
paplay foo.flac # to play to the local speakers
PULSE_SERVER=192.168.1.99 paplay foo.flac # to play through the remote machine.
the same works with audio files in totem
totem foo.flac # to play to the local speakers
PULSE_SERVER=192.168.1.99 totem foo.flac # to play through the remote machine.

however if the file is a video file, then when i do
PULSE_SERVER=192.168.1.99 totem foo2.mov
i just get the picture shown, and silence.

the audio should play through the network

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for sent it to GNOME. could you add the required info as well? comment from upstream:

"It's not just Totem, any GStreamer using application would have the same
problem.

Could you please double-check that:
PULSE_SERVER=192.168.1.99 gst-launch audiotestsrc ! pulsesink
fails to play the test sound as well?"
