So you chose an option that you knew nothing about and it broke your network setup? Where's the bug?

No, network setup is fine, but no navigator in firefox, system update via pacman or ssh connection.

Paprefs is a pulseaudio config tool, and pulseaudio is running in a normal user. In my opinion, program running in a normal user never be interfer in a network connection, then situation describe is a bug.

I suspect that for some reason the option selectect in paprefs make pulseaudio use all available bandwidth, and put others programs down when use internet connection, or similar situation.

Sory for my bad english.

Status? Is this still an issue?

If you tell PA to send audio data over the network but your network connection can't actually handle the bandwidth, this is not a bug.
