My understanding is that PulseAudio never explicitly *needs* a desktop environment for running or configuration. Like many traditional Unix daemons, the config is stored in text files on the filesystem. Most of these are in /etc/pulse, at least for system-wide config and defaults. Per-user config goes in ~/.pulse/ or ~/.config/pulse. I believe there may be other paths the daemon searches for configs, but /etc/pulse is a typical starting point. For my Raspberry Pi, I just ssh into it and do all the configuration using a text editor. Alsa definitely has commandline tools and text-based GUIs for things like volume adjustment and playback (e.g. amixer, aplayer, alsamixer). I don't know offhand if PulseAudio has similar text-based tools, but I'd be surprised if it didn't! _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
