Pulseaudio over network with RTP not working

I'm trying to get Pulseaudio running using RTP. I want to use unicast instead of multicast. Therefore on the sender side I use this configuration:

load-module module-null-sink sink_name=rtp format=s16be channels=2 rate=44100 sink_properties="device.description='RTP'"
load-module module-rtp-send source=rtp.monitor destination_ip=10.0.2.2 port=46000
set-default-sink rtp

That seems to work fine and on the target system (10.0.2.2) I can run

vlc rtp://0.0.0.0:46000

to get the sound output.

Anyhow when I try to "integrate" it in the receiver Pulseaudio configuration:

load-module module-rtp-recv sap_address=0.0.0.0

I don't get any sound output. Furthermore I see errors in the Pulseaudio log:

E: [pulseaudio] module-rtp-recv.c: bind() failed: Cannot assign requested address
E: [pulseaudio] module-rtp-recv.c: bind() failed: Cannot assign requested address
...

I tried to find anything about that error but could not find a solution. In the tutorials it seems to just work. Would be glad for any hint.

Best Regards

Re: Pulseaudio over network with RTP not working

Have you managed to fix this? I'm also fighting with pulseaudio + rtp.
