Blocking other music players? What do you mean by this? So you are not useing module-cork-music-on-phone right now? If the newest GstPulseSink is used, the stream is properly corked and in the newest PA you can query that state via the protocol. > - Muting music players for totem-audio-preview (mouse hover on music file in > nautilus) is really nice Sounds like a job for the volume-follow-focus logic we played around at foss.in. > - Flash is a pain..

Firstly if your .desktop file is named after the binary name you can simply add a "X-PulseAudio-Properties=media.role=music" to that file. Alternatively you can set the enev vars "PULSE_PROP=media.role=music" or "PULSE_PROP_media.role=music" (the latter you cannot do on the shell). > - Multiple music/video players + ability to mute based on window focus is > cool (especially if it fades) Yes, I believe that. volume-follows-focus is what we toyed around with at foss.in.
