On version 0.9.13: =============== By printing debug information, I found default server name is "/root/.pulse/localhost.localdomain:runtime/native", in fact "/root/.pulse/localhost.localdomain:runtime " is symbole link to "/tmp/pulse-jCDIIAIDl73a". (everytime the name is different, while pattern is /tmp/pulse-<random>) The files in directory "/tmp/pulse-<random>" would be generated everytime PA server starts up and cleaned when PA quits. So I tried to "paplay --server=/root/.pulse/localhost.localdomain:runtime/native <wav file>", it's working. On version 0.9.10: =============== /tmp/pulse-<user>/ would be used, ex "/tmp/pulse-root" I tried "paplay --server=/tmp/pulse-root/native <wav>" it's working, while I couldn't find where the symbol link is. Some points => It's not easy to guess server name like this. It's better to have it documented or put in help info. => In addition, for PA server on other PC in the same network, how to specify the server name?

Hi, 1> From paman, I could find pulseaudio server launched and server name was "pulseaudio". 2> I tried "paplay --server=pulseaudio <wav file>", while failed with error message "Connection failure: Connection refused". In fact, in paplay.c, "pa_context_connect(context, server, 0, NULL);" => if server =NULL, means using default server, always succeeded. While if server name specified, failed. Question: how to use this parameter "server" for pa_context_connect()? Thanks! Hao PS> I use the same account for launching pulseaudio and paplay. _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss at mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
