[Bug 896688] Re: avahi provides incorrect IP address to pulseaudio

[anquieta]

Yes. This issue seems to be limited to Airport devices for me too. While
they are quite old now, any chance this incompatibility can be resolved
in Avahi? Correct resolution is helpful to access a Time Capsule's
network drive. Anything we can do to help debug and test? Thanks.

Title:
  avahi provides incorrect IP address to pulseaudio

Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 10.04
  Packages avahi-daemon 0.6.25-1ubuntu6.2

  I'm using an airport express with pulse audio and I believe avahi-
  daemon is providing/resolving the wrong IP address to pulse audio.

  Using the following command,  avahi-browse -r _raop._tcp

  I get:

  + eth1 IPv4 00254B09A042 at Base Station 09a043              AirTunes Remote Audio local
  = eth1 IPv4 00254B09A042 at Base Station 09a043              AirTunes Remote Audio local
     hostname = [Base-Station-09a043.local]
     address = [169.254.135.173]
     port = [5000]
     txt = ["sf=0x5" "fv=74200.9" "am=AirPort4,107" "vs=101.9" "tp=TCP,UDP" "vn=65537" "pw=false" "ss=16" "sr=44100" "da=true" "sv=false" "et=0,1" "ek=1" "cn=0,1" "ch=2" "txtvers=1"]

  where the address (169.254.135.173) is incorrect. It should be a
  192.168.1.X address which is already assigned to the APEX from the
  router using DHCP. I've had to specify the correct IP address to
  pulseaudio when I manually load the module_raop_sink module in order
  for it to properly stream music to it.
