PulseAudio extremely high latency through PA network tunnels after update to Fedora 15

[Rudd-O]

Sound stutters horribly and applications freeze after about a second of switching to a tunnel device that ends in a machine in my LAN.

It's not bandwidth issues. 100 mbit network.

OK, the problem was wallclock drift. When the wallclock drifts, the latency goes up and up and up and up. I fixed this by using ntpd clock skew on both machines. Nevertheless, this is new behavior that was introduced after the update to Fedora 15 (perhaps different kernel mechanisms for keeping time).

The periodic interruptions I experienced in the bug reported above are basically wireless scans performed by NetworkManager?.

I am going to close this.

Hey,

This is probably what caused my bug:
