NAME

pasystray - PulseAudio controller for the system tray

SYNOPSIS

pasystray [options]

DESCRIPTION

pasystray enables control of various PulseAudio server settings from the X11 system tray. Clicking the tray icon will display a graphical menu, allowing the user to:
adjust the volume of streams and sinks/sources
transfer streams between sinks/sources
switch the default sink/source
set the default server (PULSE_SERVER)
detect network PulseAudio services
rename devices

OPTIONAL PULSEAUDIO MODULES

pasystray can make use of the following PulseAudio modules:
module-device-manager - device renaming
module-zeroconf-discover - network device discovery

These modules may need to be loaded, using e.g. pactl(1) or pasystray itself.

REMOTE SINKS/SOURCES

In order to detect remote sinks/source, as well as enabling module-zeroconf-discover locally, module-zeroconf-publish must be enabled on the remote server.

REMOTE SERVER

As with most PulseAudio-aware applications, the environment variable PULSE_SERVER may be set to the address of a remote host in order to use pasystray to control the server running on that host.
