Note that I am using pulseaudio 0.9.10. Not sure how that affects this deprecation of padevchooser. So if padevchooser is obsolete, how do I, as a desktop graphical user access the manager, volume control, volume meters, preferences, etc. that padevchooser gave me access to?

Ahhh. So the root properties are the canonical location of the pulseaudio server settings. I notice any currently playing audio (like a rhythmbox for example) does not change play locations until it's paused/stopped and resumed. I guess there is no way to change in progress streams? Although, I can do that from the Volume Control applet, on a stream by stream basis. Is there a programmatic way of doing that? for each stream in enumerate_streams() move_stream() done Type of thing. Cheers, b.
