How to setup pulsaudio to stream to other pc?

Question

I have two identical machines running ubuntu 15.04. I want to stream audio from one machine to the other.

The problem is that the server is not discovered and doesnt show up in sound settings.

Suggestions?

Here's another link: http://askubuntu.com/a/70700/3940 for pulseaudio RTP network streaming. — Takkat, Sep 24 '15 at 18:08
Is the pulseaudio daemon running in the other machine? Try ps aux|grep pulseaudio — Katu, Sep 24 '15 at 18:49

Solved it.

For some reason the server settings done in paprefs were not saved to /etc/pulse/default.pa.

Uncommented in /etc/pulse/default.pa on the server:

load-module module-esound-protocol-tcp
load-module module-native-protocol-tcp
load-module module-zeroconf-publish

Now everything works fine.

Thanks for your help!
