Comment 3 for bug 329896

As of today's update:

bob@hoss:~$ apt-cache policy pulseaudio
pulseaudio:
  Installed: 0.9.14-0ubuntu7
  Candidate: 0.9.14-0ubuntu7
  Version table:
 *** 0.9.14-0ubuntu7 0

I can now see network sinks, and I can have pavucontrol open. But any attempt to send audio to a network sink results in that sink crashing within 30 seconds. Again, CPU usage on the sink exceeds 90% (with pulseaudio 0.9.10 on both machines and the same settings CPU usage was < 10%). On several occasions the crash has been severe enough that the only way to recover the machine is to power cycle it.

Note: The sink machine has not been upgraded - this is running ubuntu 8.10 with pulseaudio 0.9.10 and has always been stable. It's only the sending machine that I have upgraded. The bug is therefore definitely in sending audio across the network.

Progress, but not complete yet.
