Indeed, if you look at (gnu services sound), you'll see that what
pulseaudio? #t does (the default) is to add this to ALSA's asound.conf
file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
`("# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm_type.pulse {
lib \"" ,#~(string-append #$alsa-plugins:pulseaudio
"/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so") "\"
}
ctl_type.pulse {
lib \"" ,#~(string-append #$alsa-plugins:pulseaudio
"/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so") "\"
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback \"sysdefault\"
hint {
show on
description \"Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)\"
}
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback \"sysdefault\"
}\n\n"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This configures ALSA applications to use pulseaudio as its default
output. Many non-ALSA applications will attempt to use pulseaudio and
the configuration of it being allowed to autostart or not is to be made
at the level of pulseaudio-service-type, as pointed out in Liliana's
reply (thanks!).
