Fwd: Guacamole audio is not working with pulseaudio

Hello,

I am trying to broadcast audio/video from pc to smart-tv the best solution
I found was guacamole+tigerVNC+Pulseaudio video is fine but no audio

After debugging for days I am able to see in wireshark tcp packets between
guacamole and pulseaudio but tcp stream stops and I don't hear anything in
my tv "or any other device".

Here is the log from guacamole service which states every thing is okay.

sudo systemctl status guacd.service

I followed this guacamole guideline
<https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/configuring-guacamole.html> and here
is a screenshot <https://i.stack.imgur.com/OGVSo.png> of wireshark traffic
between guacamole and pulseaudio using port 4713 in server PC but it stops
quickly without any clear issues.
