I'll try to explain how pulseaudio-dlna works on my computer with my
audio system:
- start pulseaudio-dlna on your computer. I usually start it from
console and be sure that port 8080 (it's by default) is open on your
computer.
- start audio (or video) program with source sound
- start your audio receiver. It depends on particular device how much
time it needs to start and appear in Pulse Audio Volume Control
- start Pulse Audio Volume Control
- on "Playback" tab you should see the program with audio source and at
its right side you can select particular sound card. On this place your
DLNA device should be visible. I may need to adjust volume in your audio
source program.
