@Solaris That's not a fix, that's just disabling the feature.

This problem still exists. I'm on Ubuntu 15.10 and RTP send is flooding my network resulting in near total DoS. 
This really needs to be resolved soon...

Example of packet storm:

Title:
  pulseaudio floods network with multicast packets

Status in PulseAudio:
  Confirmed
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in pulseaudio package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pulseaudio

  Since a karmic update last week, when pulseaudio is running it floods
  the network with multicast packets, to the point where the wireless
  interface I'm using is so flooded that no other network traffic can be
  transfered.

  Here is a snippet of tcpdump -i wlan 0 -n:

  ---8<---

  As can be seen, these packets are sent several hundreds times a second
  and this completely overloads the network interface.

  Apparently I have pulseaudio set with network access enabled, but I
  can't disable it as the pulseaudio configuration is completely
  disabled (see screenshot).

  As pulseaudio keeps recovering itself the only way I can get any work
  done at the moment is to run "while true; do killall pulseaudio; sleep
  1; done" whenever I want to do anything on the network.
