NAME¶
pax11publish - PulseAudio X11 Credential Utility
SYNOPSIS¶
pax11publish -h
pax11publish [
options] [-d]
pax11publish [
options] -e
pax11publish [
options] -i
pax11publish [
options] -r
DESCRIPTION¶
The
pax11publish utility can be used to dump or manipulate the PulseAudio
server credentials that can be stored as properties on the X11 root window.
Please note that the loadable module
module-x11-publish exports the same
information directly from the PulseAudio sound server, and should in most
cases be used in preference over this tool.
Use the following command to dump the raw PulseAudio-specific data that is
stored in your X11 root window:
xprop -root | grep ^PULSE_
OPTIONS¶
- -h
- Show help.
- -d
- Read the PulseAudio server credentials currently set on the
X11 root window and dump them in a human readable form. This reads the
PULSE_SERVER, PULSE_SINK, PULSE_SOURCE and PULSE_COOKIE properties.
- -i
- Similar to -d, however dumps them in a Bourne shell
compatible format so they may be used together with the eval shell
command to set the $PULSE_SERVER, $PULSE_SINK, $PULSE_SOURCE environment
variables. Also reads the authentication cookie from the root window and
stores it in ~/.config/pulse/cookie.
- -e
- Export the currently locally used sound server, sink,
source configuration to the X11 root window. This takes the data from the
$PULSE_SERVER, $PULSE_SINK, $PULSE_SOURCE environment variables and
combines them with the data from ~/.config/pulse/client.conf (or
/etc/pulse/client.conf if that file does not exist). If specific
options are passed on the command line ( -S, -O, -I,
-c, see below), they take precedence. Also uploads the local
authentication cookie ~/.config/pulse/cookie to the X11
server.
- -r
- Removes the configured PulseAudio configuration from the
X11 root window.
- -D DISPLAY
- Connect to the specified X11 display, instead of the
default one configured in $DISPLAY.
- -S SERVER
- Only valid for -e: export the specified PulseAudio
server as default to the X11 display instead of the one configured via
local configuration.
- -O SINK
- Only valid for -e: export the specified sink as
default sink to the X11 display instead of the one configured via local
configuration.
- -I SOURCE
- Only valid for -e: export the specified source as
default to the X11 display instead of the one configured via local
configuration.
- -c FILE
- Only valid for -e: export the PulseAudio
authentication cookie stored in the specified file to the X11 display
instead of the one stored in ~/.config/pulse/cookie.
