Comment 9 for bug 411688

Fascinating. I did an "apt-get install padevchooser" which was not installed after the system updated to Karmic and that seemed to turn rtp-send off and the system started behaving. That install pulled in paprefs and zeroconf support.

On reboot it started spewing again, and going into paprefs, rtp-send was enabled. However, paprefs allowed me to disable it and on rebooting after doing so, it is still disabled. Any attempt to enable it causes the looping behaviour. It seems to be taking its own broadcasts and responding to them.
