NAME
       pax11publish - PulseAudio X11 Credential Utility

SYNOPSIS
       pax11publish -h

       pax11publish [options] [-d]

       pax11publish [options] -e

       pax11publish [options] -i

       pax11publish [options] -r

DESCRIPTION
       The pax11publish utility can be used to dump or manipulate the PulseAu‐
       dio server credentials that can be stored as properties on the X11 root
       window.

       Please  note  that  the	loadable module module-x11-publish exports the
       same information directly from the PulseAudio sound server, and	should
       in most cases be used in preference over this tool.

       Use the following command to dump the raw PulseAudio-specific data that
       is stored in your X11 root window:

       xprop -root | grep ^PULSE_

OPTIONS
       -h     Show help.

       -d     Read the PulseAudio server credentials currently set on the  X11
	      root  window  and dump them in a human readable form. This reads
	      the  PULSE_SERVER,  PULSE_SINK,  PULSE_SOURCE  and  PULSE_COOKIE
	      properties.

       -i     Similar  to  -d, however dumps them in a Bourne shell compatible
	      format so they may be used together with the eval shell  command
	      to set the $PULSE_SERVER, $PULSE_SINK, $PULSE_SOURCE environment
	      variables. Also reads the authentication cookie  from  the  root
	      window and stores it in ~/.config/pulse/cookie.

       -e     Export  the  currently  locally  used sound server, sink, source
	      configuration to the X11 root window. This takes the  data  from
	      the  $PULSE_SERVER, $PULSE_SINK, $PULSE_SOURCE environment vari‐
	      ables  and  combines   them   with   the	 data	from   ~/.con‐
	      fig/pulse/client.conf  (or  /etc/pulse/client.conf  if that file
	      does not exist). If specific options are passed on  the  command
	      line  (-S,  -O,  -I,  -c, see below), they take precedence. Also
	      uploads the local authentication	cookie	~/.config/pulse/cookie
	      to the X11 server.

       -r     Removes  the  configured	PulseAudio  configuration from the X11
	      root window.

       -D DISPLAY
	      Connect to the specified X11 display, instead of the default one
	      configured in $DISPLAY.

       -S SERVER
	      Only  valid  for	-e:  export the specified PulseAudio server as
	      default to the X11 display instead of  the  one  configured  via
	      local configuration.

       -O SINK
	      Only  valid for -e: export the specified sink as default sink to
	      the X11 display instead of the one configured via local configu‐
	      ration.

       -I SOURCE
	      Only valid for -e: export the specified source as default to the
	      X11 display instead of the one configured via  local  configura‐
	      tion.

       -c FILE
	      Only  valid  for -e: export the PulseAudio authentication cookie
	      stored in the specified file to the X11 display instead  of  the
	      one stored in ~/.config/pulse/cookie.
