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 ~/.config/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   ~/.con‐
51              fig/pulse/client.conf  (or  /etc/pulse/client.conf  if that file
52              does not exist). If specific options are passed on  the  command
53              line  (-S,  -O,  -I,  -c, see below), they take precedence. Also
54              uploads the local authentication  cookie  ~/.config/pulse/cookie
55              to the X11 server.
56
57       -r     Removes  the  configured  PulseAudio  configuration from the X11
58              root window.
59
60       -D DISPLAY
61              Connect to the specified X11 display, instead of the default one
62              configured in $DISPLAY.
63
64       -S SERVER
65              Only  valid  for  -e:  export the specified PulseAudio server as
66              default to the X11 display instead of  the  one  configured  via
67              local configuration.
68
69       -O SINK
70              Only  valid for -e: export the specified sink as default sink to
71              the X11 display instead of the one configured via local configu‐
72              ration.
73
74       -I SOURCE
75              Only valid for -e: export the specified source as default to the
76              X11 display instead of the one configured via  local  configura‐
77              tion.
78
79       -c FILE
80              Only  valid  for -e: export the PulseAudio authentication cookie
81              stored in the specified file to the X11 display instead  of  the
82              one stored in ~/.config/pulse/cookie.
