HOWTO: Flooding wireless networks...

Recipe:

1 wireless network
1 part Fedora 12
1 part Pulseaudio gravy
1 foolish setting:


What do you get?! A nice flood towards your wireless network with empty 16-bit audio packets even when no application whatsoever is playing audio.

One thing I don't remember... if I ever activated that setting while playing with my VirtualGL / remote wine gaming setup.. or if it was an effect from the Fedora upgrade... either way, best to double check your own setting after upgrading, as the effect is a pretty dead wireless network at seemingly random times.
