<p>The <file>pax11publish</file> utility can be used to dump or
34
manipulate the PulseAudio server credentials that can be stored as
35
properties on the X11 root window.</p>
37
<p>Please note that the loadable module
38
<file>module-x11-publish</file> exports the same information
39
directly from the PulseAudio sound server, and should in most
40
cases be used in preference over this tool.</p>
42
<p>Use the following command to dump the raw
43
PulseAudio-specific data that is stored in your X11 root
46
<p>xprop -root | grep ^PULSE_</p>

<optdesc><p>Read the PulseAudio server credentials currently set

on the X11 root window and dump them in a human readable form. This reads the

64
properties.</p></optdesc>
69
<optdesc><p>Similar to <opt>-d</opt>, however dumps them in a
70
Bourne shell compatible format so they may be used together with
71
the <file>eval</file> shell command to set the $PULSE_SERVER,
72
$PULSE_SINK, $PULSE_SOURCE environment variables. Also reads the
73
authentication cookie from the root window and stores it in

<file>~/.config/pulse/cookie</file>. </p></optdesc>

<optdesc><p>Export the currently locally used sound server,

the data from the $PULSE_SERVER, $PULSE_SINK, $PULSE_SOURCE

environment variables and combines them with the data from

<file>~/.config/pulse/client.conf</file> (or
