I’ve found this https://volumio.org/forum/pulseaudio-network-sink-t773.html discussion about pulseaudio support in volumio which is marked as solved but I’ve just downloaded and installed latest volumio image and I can not find pulseaudio support. Has it been implemented or has pulseaudio support been delayed?

Hi,
Even if it is maybe not exactly what you want, you can stream from pulseaudio (pc) to Volumio by using https://github.com/masmu/pulseaudio-dlna
It works perfectly! 
have look at this thread https://volumio.org/forum/streaming-from-ubuntu-and-other-linux-volumio-t2914.html (same thing than above).
I’ve the same question as I’ve not got to Raspberry Pi2’s with iQaudio DAC+ and would like to synchronise them and since MPD underlies Volumio it seems this looks pretty straightforward with PulseAudio.
I tried installing PulseAudio under the current Volumio install using ‘apt-get install pulseaudio’ but there are a number of packages missing from the repository…

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
The suggested ‘–fix-missing’ flag doesn’t solve the problem either and I’m wary up updating the whole install.
Aside from SoundCloud integration this is the other final step I’m keen to resolve. This thread too has been marked as ‘[SOLVED]’ but I can’t see any solution. Does this mean that the issue has been solved in the development version on Github and will be included in a future release?
