Description:
Since 13.99 the RTP module does not work properly for me anymore. I am using paprefs to enable the sender and receivers. I (of course) installed the new split package pulseaudio-rtp, otherwise it would not work.

My setup:
* 1 Sender (which is a receiver via loopback also)
* 2 Receiver

The audio will stop playing for some seconds every so often. Even on the sender device which gets the rtp stream via loopback. I am not sure if this issue is caused by pulseaudio directly, but it is very likely the new version broke something.
This task depends upon

Two things to add:
* I am using 13.99.2+13+g7f4d7fcf5-1
* This version also made me require to install jack (dependency of gst-plugins-good). This was not required before. Can we avoid this somehow?

Is this fixed with pulseaudio(-rtp) 13.99.2+22 ?

Fully working now. The issue was on the receiver side, so I had to update all computers.

I noticed you removed the gstreamer dependencies. Are those still optional or what were they used for initially?

Upstream chose to disable the GStreamer RTP backend by default.
