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.
