Not that it likely affects a lot of people, but pulseaudio can |
| 32 |
transmit sound over the network to other pulseaudio servers -- a |
| 33 |
possible use case I can think of are media centers, though I'm sure |

there's more. There's even a guy streaming audio from his Android |
| 35 |
phone to another computer [1]. |
