pulseaudio is a networked sound server for Unix-like operating systems
|
|
and Microsoft Windows. It is intended to be an improved drop-in replacement
|
|
for the Enlightened Sound Daemon (ESOUND).
|
|
|
|
Optional deps: sbc, jack-audio-connection-kit, avahi, lirc, libasyncns, orc
|
|
|
|
Bluetooth support requires the optional sbc package (in addition to the
|
|
standard bluez package).
|
|
|
|
USAGE:
|
|
In almost all cases, pulseaudio should be run as a normal user daemon
|
|
i.e. NOT a system wide daemon. It will be usually started by the desktop
|
|
environment (KDE, XFCE, MATE) when the user logs in. In general, there is
|
|
nothing more the user needs to do (configuration for particular devices or
|
|
circumstances notwithstanding).
|
|
|
|
If necessary, pulseaudio may be started manually with:
|
|
/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11
|
|
|
|
In the EXTREMELY RARE case that pulseaudio needs to run as a system wide
|
|
daemon, the /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseaudio script is provided. It is not used at all
|
|
in the usual case, as above, in which pulseaudio runs as a normal user daemon.
|
|
Additionally, in the system wide daemon mode only, pulseaudio will need a
|
|
pulse group/user to run as. This may be done with:
|
|
groupadd -g 216 pulse
|
|
useradd -u 216 -g pulse -d /var/run/pulse -m pulse
|
