NAME

6       pulse-client.conf - PulseAudio client configuration file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ~/.pulse/client.conf
10
11       /etc/pulse/client.conf
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The  PulseAudio  client  library  reads configuration directives from a
15       file ~/.pulse/client.conf on startup and when that file  doesn't  exist
16       from /etc/pulse/client.conf.
17
18       The configuration file is a simple collection of variable declarations.
19       If the configuration file parser encounters either ; or  #  it  ignores
20       the rest of the line until its end.
21
22       For  the settings that take a boolean argument the values true, yes, on
23       and 1 are equivalent, resp. false, no, off, 0.

DIRECTIVES

26       default-sink= The default sink to connect to. If  specified  overwrites
27       the setting in the daemon. The environment variable $PULSE_SINK however
28       takes precedence.
29
30       default-source= The default source to connect to.  If  specified  over‐
31       writes   the   setting   in   the   daemon.  The  environment  variable
32       $PULSE_SOURCE however takes precedence.
33
34       default-server= The default sever to connect to. The environment  vari‐
35       able $PULSE_SERVER takes precedence.
36
37       autospawn=  Autospawn  a PulseAudio daemon when needed. Takes a boolean
38       value, defaults to "yes".
39
40       daemon-binary= Path to the PulseAudio daemon to run when  autospawning.
41       Defaults to a path configured at compile time.
42
43       extra-arguments=  Extra arguments to pass to the PulseAudio daemon when
44       autospawning. Defaults to --log-target=syslog
45
46       cookie-file= Specify the path to the PulseAudio authentication  cookie.
47       Defaults to ~/.pulse-cookie.
48
49       enable-shm= Enable data transfer via POSIX shared memory. Takes a bool‐
50       ean argument, defaults to yes.
51
52       shm-size-bytes= Sets the shared memory segment  size  for  clients,  in
53       bytes.  If left unspecified or is set to 0 it will default to some sys‐
54       tem-specific default, usually 64 MiB. Please note that usually there is
55       no  need to change this value, unless you are running an OS kernel that
56       does not do memory overcommit.
