There are the command-line tools pactl and pacmd, but they aren't comparable to aumix. Alsamixer is the closest alternative, but that's not very good either with Pulseaudio. Would you like to write "aumix for Pulseaudio"? > 'pavucontrol' works from a local terminal but doesn't seem to work when > logged in remotely- I get a gnome dialog [so it's not an X problem] saying > 'connection refused' I don't know off-hand what's wrong. What's the setup? So far I know that you have a server and a client, and X is running on the client, and you are trying to run pavucontrol on the server. Are you connecting with "ssh -X" or is it an unprotected remote X session? Which machine's pulseaudio are you expecting pavucontrol to use? If the client machine's, is pulseaudio running there and is module-native-protocol-tcp loaded there? If yes, is the module loaded with --auth-anonymous? If not, have you copied ~/.pulse-cookie from the client machine to the server? -- Tanu Kaskinen
