I am running Pulse Audio RAOP that came with Ubuntu Maverick.I am using a Dell Dimension 4600C with an Intel Pentium processor. The Dell is connected via Ethernet wire to an Airport base station. ISSUE: When I stream via RAOP to an Airport Express connected to my stereo, it will begin to skip and then disconnect after approximately 1 hour. At that point, the Airport Express option disappears from the Sound Preferences "Output" pane. I have to restart the computer and the Airport Express to resume streaming. ISSSUE WITH WIRELESS STREAMING. When I attempt to stream RAOP to the Airport Express via a Netgear WG511 v2 Wireless card under a windows wireless driver, the Music skips (fades in and out). The Wireless card is currently deactivated. Thanks for any help with this issue.
I'm afraid to say that this is simply a bug. We need a much tighter control of the timing used to deliver audio data to the device. This has been on my todo list for a while, but hopefully I'll find the time/motivation again soon.
Thanks for the reply, Colin! Thanks also for your interest in finding a fix when time permits. Best, Caleb
I guess for some more information about the timing http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/771 is the related bug report.
Diving deeper into this topic. There is a patch at <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1870842&group_id=119473&atid=684238> which is supposed to implement "Buffer overrun control". btw. how tight is the relationship of raop-play and the feature integrated in pulseaudio?
