DESCRIPTION

20       The pax11publish utility can be used to dump or manipulate the PulseAu‐
21       dio server credentials that can be stored as properties on the X11 root
22       window.
23
24       Please  note  that  the  loadable module module-x11-publish exports the
25       same information directly from the PulseAudio sound server, and  should
26       in most cases be used in preference over this tool.
27
28       Use the following command to dump the raw PulseAudio-specific data that
29       is stored in your X11 root window:
30
31       xprop -root | grep ^PULSE_
32

OPTIONS

34       -h     Show help.
35
36       -d     Read the PulseAudio server credentials currently set on the  X11
37              root  window  and dump them in a human readable form. This reads
38              the  PULSE_SERVER,  PULSE_SINK,  PULSE_SOURCE  and  PULSE_COOKIE
39              properties.
40
41       -i     Similar  to  -d, however dumps them in a Bourne shell compatible
42              format so they may be used together with the eval shell  command
43              to set the $PULSE_SERVER, $PULSE_SINK, $PULSE_SOURCE environment
44              variables. Also reads the authentication cookie  from  the  root
45              window and stores it in ~/.pulse-cookie.
46
47       -e     Export  the  currently  locally  used sound server, sink, source
48              configuration to the X11 root window. This takes the  data  from
49              the  $PULSE_SERVER, $PULSE_SINK, $PULSE_SOURCE environment vari‐
50              ables and combines them with the data from  ~/.pulse/client.conf
51              (or /etc/pulse/client.conf if that file does not exist). If spe‐
52              cific options are passed on the command line (-S,  -O,  -I,  -c,
53              see below), they take precedence. Also uploads the local authen‐
54              tication cookie ~/.pulse-cookie to the X11 server.
55
56       -r     Removes the configured PulseAudio  configuration  from  the  X11
57              root window.
58
59       -D DISPLAY
60              Connect to the specified X11 display, instead of the default one
61              configured in $DISPLAY.
62
63       -S SERVER
64              Only valid for -e: export the  specified  PulseAudio  server  as
65              default  to  the  X11  display instead of the one configured via
66              local configuration.
67
68       -O SINK
69              Only valid for -e: export the specified sink as default sink  to
70              the X11 display instead of the one configured via local configu‐
71              ration.
72
73       -I SOURCE
74              Only valid for -e: export the specified source as default to the
75              X11  display  instead of the one configured via local configura‐
76              tion.
77
78       -c FILE
79              Only valid for -e: export the PulseAudio  authentication  cookie
80              stored  in  the specified file to the X11 display instead of the
81              one stored in ~/.pulse-cookie.
