Hello everyone,
I need to connect more than 64 clients to a PulseAudio server (PulseAudio 16.1 on Debian 12), 100 to be exact.
From the 65th client, I cannot retrieve the list of devices. I've seen this warning in journalctl:
Warning! Too many connections (64), dropping incoming connection.
I've seen the limitation in pulsecore/protocol-esound.c :
#define MAX_CONNECTIONS 64
Could anyone confirm the following points:
- To modify this limit, there is no other way than to download, modify and build the PulseAudio sources (i've searched among the configuration files without result).
- Changing this limit to 100 won't affect the PulseAudio performance too much.
Feel free to ask any additional information.Thank you and have a nice day !Julien
