No. It's not possible to update other clients' properties from another client. What problem are you trying to solve? If you just want vlc and mplayer to set their media role, you can set environment variable PULSE_PROP_media.role=foo when running them. If you want to write software for controlling the media role of arbitrary streams, that software needs to run in the PulseAudio server, so it needs to be written as a PulseAudio module. -- Tanu
