Could be firestarter the cause of this problem?

I haven't tried it yet, but this one could be a possible solution, because If you have firestarter installed, it *WILL* stop PulseAudio from properly communicating over Zeroconf/Avahi's port 5353.

How to Fix:

gksudo gedit /etc/firestarter/user-pre

In the file, add the following lines:

$IPT -A INPUT -p udp --dport 5353 -d 224.0.0.251 -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 5353 -d 224.0.0.251 -j ACCEPT

Then, save and close the file, and then type:

/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart

what do you about it? am i dreamer? :-D

PS: i have found this solution here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio
