#230833 — pulseaudio-dlna expected behaviour

Hello, I have a very general question about what is supposed to happen 
with audio routing, I'm not sure what I am doing is right and I'd like 
to rule out the person behind the keyboard before I start on debugging 
the setup.

I am running debian stable with pulseaudio-dlna installed.

The widget in kde brings it up in the audio volume as running.

On the network I have a onkyo receiver and also a vero 4k+ with osmc on 
it. They both get detected by pulse audio as audio sinks? and are listed 
under the speakers.

When I tick them as where I want the audio to play, nothing happens.

My question is, is something supposed to happen? Does sound just play 
out of them without being put into some kind of receive mode? I can't 
find any settings that say "play music you get streamed to you across 
the network". I can't find anything in either of their menus about being 
an audio renderer, but if they are not, why would pulseaudio detect them?

I've seen threads in Ubuntu about upgrading or compiling your own 
pulseaudio-dlna, before I go that route I'd like to know if I doing it 
wrong or right so far.


Thanks

I'll try to explain how pulseaudio-dlna works on my computer with my
audio system:

 - start pulseaudio-dlna on your computer. I usually start it from
console and be sure that port 8080 (it's by default) is open on your
computer.

 - start audio (or video) program with source sound
 - start your audio receiver. It depends on particular device how much
time it needs to start and appear in Pulse Audio Volume Control
 - start Pulse Audio Volume Control
 - on "Playback" tab you should see the program with audio source and at
its right side you can select particular sound card. On this place your
DLNA device should be visible. I may need to adjust volume in your audio
source program.


HTH

Kind regards
Georgi
