Thanks Tanu, What I want to do is something like this. 1) The task is very similar to the module-role-cork.. Ex:- when a call comes from skype, if I am playing rhythmbox, it should pause and after I finish the call, it should restart. The skype and rhythmbox are managed by a Audio Manager. 2) The applications that I use (like skype and rhythmbox) might not have the media role property. 3) In such a case, how to assign media roles to them.. 4) The Audio Manager or routing engine has the information about the media role variable.. The above points are the things I want to acheive.. *" Essentially, if I write a module, it should take the media role information from Audio Manager and set the media role variable in pulse audio.."* Is this what you implied when you replied you have to write a module (written within quotes and faced in bold)?? Are there any other ways to do it ??
