Lennart has already answered but I should also say that newer pavucontrols (e.g. newer than the one in Ubuntu) deprecate the volume meters. In addition paman is generally of little day-to-day use and paprefs is also only used occasionally. So really, pavucontrol is all you need on a daily basis. I've added a pavucontrol icon to my panel :) As for the libnotify popups from padevchooser when it discovers network sinks etc. I've got a plan for that... I need to wait until Lennart lets his bag of tricks loose on how to integrate the glib mainloop of a library into pulses mainloop (there are other ways to achieve this but I'd rather wait and do it the easy way!) > Right.

If you've got an X11 session on the source then this shouldn't be needed (setting the PULSE_SERVER) if your SSH is setup to forward X11 sessions (it's a switch to ssh... -x IIRC and usually it defaults to on). As pulse can check the root window properties (xprop -root | grep pulse) and as the root window is forwarded via SSH, this "just works(tm)". I used it all the time. SSH into another machine on the network and run an audio app :) Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mandriva Linux Contributor [http://www.mandriva.com/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
