Terminal output

I have a Wine Installation of steam on Host A and a Linux installation of Steam
on Host B. The hosts are able to connect and stream a game from Host A to Host
B, but no sound information is sent.

I have tried streaming from a Linux installation on Host A to a Linux
installation on Host B and sound information is sent.

I maybe should add, that I tried to stream "Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens"
(Steam Version) from a Linux Host (Debian Testing) to a Windows Client (Win
10).

Video and Controls work, but Audio doesn't.

I have an Nvidia Graphic Card (Official Driver) and Pulseaudio on Host, Intel
Graphics on Client.
Hardware Encoding is activated in the Steam In-Home-Streaming Options.
Wine is Staging v.2.11 and uses Windows Vista + CSMT activated.

These Lines seem to be of interest:

For those who want to try a possible workaround:
Try to stream the audio via pulseaudio:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples#PulseAudio_over_net...

You have to install "pulseaudio" on both the client and the server.
Then you can use the Client as the pulseaudio-Server and the Host connects to
it.

For Windows Clients:
It is possible to install "pulseaudio" inside Cygwin http://cygwin.com/.
Cygwin lets you run specific linux applications under windows.

Sadly my network is too slow, so there was choppy sound when i used steam
streaming at the same time (even though it ran smootly when running alone).

You should maybe have a direct network connection with 100 mbit/sec or at least
more than 10 mbit/sec.

How did you even get Steam In-Home Streaming to work? On my setup (Xubuntu
16.04 with Nvidia Proprietary, Wine 2.22) Steam In-Home Streaming crashes
Steam.

It worked (at least for me) with Wine Staging Version 2.11.
Maybe you could give us some more details?
