There is numerous of support software and a lot of scripts in the wild for pulseaudio that tries to be smart. Pulseaudio been debated over and over on linux-audio-list. Mostly how to disable it. I can't recall any discussion on module rtp but turning it on or off would be the same as the rest of the modules I think.
yes, according to the docs and default config, it *default's* to *off*. The next question would be, why it is on. On my Tw box it is working as the default config suggests, always rtp is off. And I have made no change to it. The OP has it on for some reason, ie: not the default. So something/someone has changed (it) or his system has problems. Perhaps he has installed something that want's rdp and change the setting for him.
Any, changing /etc/pulse/default.pa and not changing ~/.config/pulse/default.pa will not change what he observes. He must change ~/.config/pulse/default.pa or both and ~/.config/pulse/default.pa would take precedence.
Maybe he will give us an explanation ????
I will, now that I’m back. :) I don’t remember if/when I originally turned on rtp sending/receiving - I must have had a good reason to do so. The spamming of the network I’ve only noticed recently, although when googling for solutions (before I asked on the list as a last resort) I found lots of mailing list traffic from 2013 about the same problem (but NONE about not being able to disable it). From /etc/pulse/default.pa: ### Load the RTP receiver module (also configured via paprefs, see above) #load-module module-rtp-recv ### Load the RTP sender module (also configured via paprefs, see above) #load-module module-null-sink sink_name=rtp format=s16be channels=2 rate=44100 sink_properties="device.description='RTP Multicast Sink'" #load-module module-rtp-send source=rtp.monitor ### Load additional modules from GConf settings. This can be configured with the paprefs tool. ### Please keep in mind that the modules configured by paprefs might conflict with manually ### loaded modules. .ifexists module-gconf.so .nofail load-module module-gconf .fail .endif Note that both rtp-send and rtp-recv are commented out, but there is this extra section for load-module module-gconf. ~/.config/pulse/default.pa does not exist, so I’m guessing that it must be gconf telling the modules to load. The comment implies that paprefs is supposed to configure the gconf settings, but it does not seem to work (even running as root or with kdesu). Maybe commenting out that line will help...I’ll give that a try and report back.
