[PATCH] client-conf: prefer client.conf over settings from X11

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

 



The original thinking was probably that the X11 variables are kind of
similar to environment variables, so they should override the settings
in client.conf, but I don't think that's a good way to think about it.
Unlike environment variables, the X11 variables are practically never
set by the user, they (in particular the server address) are set by
module-x11-publish that is automatically loaded by the
start-pulseaudio-x11 script. As a result, it was confusing why setting
the default-server option in client.conf didn't have any effect, when
the PULSE_SERVER variable from X11 was overriding it.

Therefore, let's load the X11 variables before parsing client.conf, so
that client.conf will override them.
