I am on Ubuntu 14.04.5 platform. I came across the same bug yesterday while trying to set up pulseaudio server on Windows to send audio from my Ubuntu laptop in local network and it rendered the home network unusable. It costed me hours to locate the pest. Dos attack triggered by pavucontrol, when I close it flooding diminishes.
I implemented the following workaround `pactl unload-module module-rtp- send` Nobody's patched it for 8 years, so we have to live with this bug and no RTP server until my learning curve reaches a higher level to overcome it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411688 Title: pulseaudio floods network with multicast packets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/411688/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
