I wish to stream computer's sound to DLNA-capable player.
Therefore I have install pulseaudio-dlna, and all of its components, dependencies, etc.
Sound is getting through the network, however it has a massive 1.5s latency which makes impossible to watch a movie.

device.class = "abstract"

Especially interested in this line:
configured latency: 40.00 ms; range is 0.50 .. 2000.00 ms
How can I change it?
Tried so far:
Set fragments in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf:
default-fragments = 2
default-fragment-size-msec = 5
Didn't help.
Can I kill the latency with pulseaudio somehow? Or it needs to be handled differently by the player?
