Hi all,

I'm bumping into a very strange issue : setting-up a tunnel between two devices is OK (thanks to Georg), but only when the configuration is static (=stored in the /etc/pulse/* configuration files), not when the same modules are loaded after pulseaudio's start-up. In the second case, all modules are loaded correctly, BUT the calculated latency of the tunnel is obviously wrong, for example "current latency: 26695333.53 ms". And no audio can be heard.

The log is full of these :
module-loopback.c: Loopback overall latency is 107.15 ms + 220.18 ms + 13395537.50 ms = 13395864.83 ms module-loopback.c: Loopback overall latency is 107.34 ms + 0.00 ms + 26188232.17 ms = 26188339.51 ms module-loopback.c: Loopback overall latency is 106.28 ms + 206.58 ms + 13395547.45 ms = 13395860.31 ms

On my source unit, I have a module-null-sink "default" and a module-native-protocol-tcp.

On the destination unit, I have the following configuration
  load-module module-udev-detect
  load-module module-suspend-on-idle
  load-module module-cli-protocol-tcp
load-module module-tunnel-source source_name=my-tunnel server=192.168.100.1 source=default.monitor
  load-module module-loopback source=my-tunnel sink=my-alsa-sink

When I start pulseaudio with this configuration, it works. But if I comment the last two lines and execute them manually using "pacmd", I get no audio, the messages in the log and the huge latency.

Does anybody know why this happens ? And how to get rid of this (I need the dynamic behavior) ?

By the way, I'm using pulseaudio 6.0 . Any chance that this would be fixed in pulseaudio 7.0 ?

Thank you and best regards,

Olivier

Is there some reason why you do not use the default default.pa? I would at least test it with a standard setup and clean the modules later. Just to be on the safe side. When I tested it,
I loaded the modules manually and it worked fine.
There are a few latency issues in module-loopback and I sent a patch set a while ago which is addressing them, but I doubt that those patches would help in your situation. You can try them however. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.pulseaudio.general/22956
If you have problems downloading I can also send them via mail.
