Public bug reported:

Description:	Ubuntu 15.04
Release:	15.04

Under PulseAudio Preferences > Multicast/RTP, when checking "Enable
Multicast/RTP sender" and selecting "Create separate audio device for
Multicast/RTP".

Expected Behaviour:
No multicast traffic unless the extra device created for Multicast/RTP is actually in use / selected as an output device.

Actual Behaviour:
Multicast traffic even though the extra device created for Multicast/RTP is not in use / selected. The multicast traffic completely overloads Wifi which basically results in Wifi being unusable.

This seems to be a regression from Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn where
this worked as expected.

** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
