PulseAudio Flooding LAN with Multicast Packets

If you enable Multicast/RTP Sender and set the option 'send audio from local speakers' in above PulseAudio configuration window, it will flood the network with multicast packets when you play music in your computer. This problem has mentioned in this thread in ubuntuforums.org. Yesterday this has happened to me and it took 3 hours to find that PulseAudio has caused this.

Here is a another post by Justin Mason on the same problem with PulseAudio multicasting.
