PulseAudio client configuration file

SYNOPSIS
~/.config/pulse/client.conf
/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 /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
- 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.
