I have a Pulseaudio networked sound setup, where one laptop is connected to my HiFi through a mini-jack, and have pulseaudio configured to export the local sound device, while another laptop is configured to access the remote sound device for audio playback. It's a very nice and convenient setup, except that buffer underruns frequently occur, resulting in really annoying fallouts in the sound. Using PULSE_SERVER=<hifi-laptop> <audio-player> works almost perfectly in terms of almost no underruns but this is an ugly workaround and I'd like to keep the ability to dynamically switch between laptop speakers and the stereo. Is there a workaround or config I can tweak to increase buffering and/or debug what the problem is?
This is just simply that the tunnelling code is not a good as the direct connection. It really needs a bit of love and attention to make it more awesome.
