NAME

       pulse-client.conf - PulseAudio client configuration file


SYNOPSIS

       ~/.config/pulse/client.conf

       /usr/local/etc/pulse/client.conf


DESCRIPTION

       The PulseAudio client library reads configuration directives from a
       file ~/.config/pulse/client.conf on startup and when that file doesn't
       exist from /usr/local/etc/pulse/client.conf.

       The configuration file is a simple collection of variable declarations.
       If the configuration file parser encounters either ; or # it ignores
       the rest of the line until its end.

       For the settings that take a boolean argument the values true, yes, on
       and 1 are equivalent, resp. false, no, off, 0.


DIRECTIVES

       default-sink= The default sink to connect to. If specified overwrites
       the setting in the daemon. The environment variable $PULSE_SINK however
       takes precedence.

       default-source= The default source to connect to. If specified
       overwrites the setting in the daemon. The environment variable
       $PULSE_SOURCE however takes precedence.

       default-server= The default sever to connect to. The environment
       variable $PULSE_SERVER takes precedence.

       autospawn= Autospawn a PulseAudio daemon when needed. Takes a boolean
       value, defaults to yes.

       daemon-binary= Path to the PulseAudio daemon to run when autospawning.
       Defaults to a path configured at compile time.

       extra-arguments= Extra arguments to pass to the PulseAudio daemon when
       autospawning. Defaults to --log-target=syslog

       cookie-file= Specify the path to the PulseAudio authentication cookie.
       Defaults to ~/.config/pulse/cookie.

       enable-shm= Enable data transfer via POSIX shared memory. Takes a
       boolean argument, defaults to yes.

       shm-size-bytes= Sets the shared memory segment size for clients, in
       bytes. If left unspecified or is set to 0 it will default to some
       system-specific default, usually 64 MiB. Please note that usually there
       is no need to change this value, unless you are running an OS kernel
       that does not do memory overcommit.

       auto-connect-localhost= Automatically try to connect to localhost via
       IP. Enabling this is a potential security hole since connections are
       only authenticated one-way and a rogue server might hence fool a client
       into sending it its private (e.g. VoIP call) data. This was enabled by
       default on PulseAudio version 0.9.21 and older. Defaults to no.

       auto-connect-display= Automatically try to connect to the host X11's
       $DISPLAY variable is set to. The same security issues apply as to auto-
       connect-localhost=. Defaults to no.
