OPTIONAL PULSEAUDIO MODULES

58       pasystray can make use of the following PulseAudio modules:
59
60       •      module-device-manager - device renaming
61
62       •      module-zeroconf-discover - network device discovery
63
64       These  modules may need to be loaded, using e.g.  pactl(1) or pasystray
65       itself.
66

REMOTE SINKS/SOURCES

68       In order to detect remote sinks/source, as well as enabling  module-ze‐
69       roconf-discover locally, module-zeroconf-publish must be enabled on the
70       remote server.
71

REMOTE SERVER

73       As with most PulseAudio-aware applications,  the  environment  variable
74       PULSE_SERVER may be set to the address of a remote host in order to use
75       pasystray to control the server running on that host.
