Package: pulseaudio-utils Version: 0.9.10-3 Severity: normal
pacmd seems to only know about the per-user unix socket, and not about the system-wide unix socket /var/run/pulse/native, nor about the tcp socket. Since it also accepts no command-line options, there seems to be no easy way to control a a running systemwide daemon :( I know about the pactl program, but that doesn't allow all the control commands. One of the commands not provided by pactl is "dump". Which brings me to the second, related, complaint: there seems to be no way to save the state of the pusleaudio mixer across reboot, similar to "alsactl store" and "alsactl restore". I was hoping to provide a home brewed solution with "dump" and ".include". I guess not all is lost because I can use a program like socat to connect to the unix socket, but that is really taking the user-hostile side of pulse too far :) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26.8matica2008112501 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pulseaudio-utils depends on: ii libasyncns0 0.3-1 Asyncronous name service query lib ii libavahi-client3 0.6.22-3 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.22-3 Avahi common library ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libflac8 1.2.1-1.2 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtim ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libogg0 1.1.3-4 Ogg Bitstream Library ii libpulse-browse0 0.9.10-3 PulseAudio client libraries (zeroc ii libpulse0 0.9.10-3 PulseAudio client libraries ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libsndfile1 1.0.17-4 Library for reading/writing audio ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library pulseaudio-utils recommends no packages.
