Rename Sink

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Oh hey, this may answer my question from a few days ago.

So I want a sink/source single device so I can dump output from one
app and attach another as input...this line from the wiki...is this
the right type?  Basically a patch cable is what I want.

add-autoload-sink combined module-combine master=output slaves=output2
sink_name=combined

I just name it 'virtual cable' and the apps if pulseaudio aware would
see it in their choices for inputs and outputs I'm assuming?

Sorry for being dense, I somehow didn't realize the commands
'add-autoload-sink' etc were just passed to pulseaudio on the command
line.
