Hi, I have a little sound server, tarzanito, where mpd is playing. Pulseaudio works fine there. I have pulseaudio also on my laptop, which is also working fine. When I put "default-server = tarzanito" into my client.conf, I can play using the sound server connected to my stereo, if I leave it out, the sound plays locally. Actually the perfect setup, it's exactly as I want it...except that I don't want to change my config file each time I want to switch. Actually I would like it to check if tarzanito is available, if yes, use it, if not play locally. Also, suppose I would like to play locally right now, I'd switch (but not changing the config file, but with a quick command, a la pacmd or pactl...) preferrably using a keyboard shortcut. (If I have pulseaudio set up, I'd know how to get the shortcut) My question: Do I have to add sinks for tarzanito and my local alsa, and if yes, how exactly do I do that? I tried messing with the default.pa script, but everytime I change something, it gets messed up... Any help is appreciated. Thanks -- samuel < samuel at eightOnions.com >
