VLC also has no problems with PA here.

Though I'm still interested in how well these things work nowadays but I don't take time to test it out myself. So is it still like that you have to fiddle around to get such apps working with sound correctly? (honest question)

802.11n has 1-5ms latency but easily supports 100 Mb/s while FLAC audio is 0.7 Mb/s. Quality is good. No background noise unlike in SPDIF which is lossy and can react to room light. You can decrease transmit power and it's already within safety region out of the box.

Originally posted by caligula View PostThis is exactly why pulseaudio rocks. You can't even find proper documentation for setting up ALSA. My laptop also had issues and played sound via HDMI only when using standard ALSA. I couldn't figure out any way to fix it and read tons of forum posts. After installing Pulseaudio everything started to work, even volume sliders. Latency is not bad. At least less than 50-100 ms for me.
If I had migrated directly from Windows to Linux, I might have endured enough pain to cope with shit like editing config files but I migrated from OSX.

Originally posted by Awesomeness View PostFlash is the sole reason I have to use PulseAudio. Flash is hardcoded to use the first sound card. Too bad on my Lenovo laptop the first output is HDMI, not the internal PCH.
could you tell me if pulseaudio 5.0 will help me:
I use PA to stream audio from my ubuntu x64 13.10 (PA 4.0) to raspberry Pi. It works, but very often PA has strange interaction with flash player (www.deezer.com / www.grooveshark.com)
let me explain:
I start playing musing on my desktop: sound is OK on local speakers
I switch audio output to the networksound card on RPi => player hangs and stops playing, no sound
If I switch back to the local sound card => the player go on and the sound is back
Any ideas?
Thanks
