NAME

       pulse-client.conf - PulseAudio client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       ~/.pulse/client.conf

       /etc/pulse/client.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The  PulseAudio  client  library  reads configuration directives from a
       file ~/.pulse/client.conf on startup and when that file  doesn’t  exist
       from /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 ~/.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.
