I am currently running PulseAudio 5.0—the default version packaged with Debian Jessie.

I'm using the system to push audio to machines across the network via module-rtp-send. I wish to make use of pactl to load and unload the modules dynamically, but I am experiencing a strange issue where the changes I make revert back to the state defined by default.pa after a minute or so.

My PulseAudio default.conf is defined below;

#! /usr/bin/pulseaudio -nF



load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0

load-module module-native-protocol-unix

load-module module-suspend-on-idle timeout=1



# failsafe stuff

load-module module-default-device-restore

load-module module-rescue-streams

load-module module-always-sink

load-module module-intended-roles



load-module module-null-sink sink_name=sp sink_properties=device.description="shairport"

load-module module-rtp-send source=sp.monitor mtu=1408 destination_ip=192.168.0.11

set-default-sink sp



load-module module-null-sink sink_name=craig sink_properties=device.description="mpd"

load-module module-rtp-send source=craig.monitor mtu=1408 destination_ip=192.168.0.12

Calling pactl list modules short | grep send shows the following;

9       module-rtp-send source=sp.monitor mtu=1408 destination_ip=192.168.0.11

11      module-rtp-send source=craig.monitor mtu=1408 destination_ip=192.168.0.12

Now, if I call, for example, pactl unload-module 9, I will see that the send module to destination_ip=192.168.0.11 has disappeared from the list when I repeat the pactl call. The strange thing that is happening is that the module will re-appear after about a minute. The same thing happens if I attemtp to load-module.

I have also tried this on Debian Stretch, using PulseAudio 10.0. The problem appears to be present there also.
