11 /etc/pulse/client.conf
12
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.
24
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.
