On version 0.9.13:
===============
By printing debug information, I found default server name  is  
"/root/.pulse/localhost.localdomain:runtime/native", in fact 
"/root/.pulse/localhost.localdomain:runtime " is symbole link to 
"/tmp/pulse-jCDIIAIDl73a". (everytime the name is different, while pattern is 
/tmp/pulse-<random>)

The files in directory "/tmp/pulse-<random>" would be generated everytime PA 
server starts up and cleaned when PA quits.

So I tried to "paplay 
--server=/root/.pulse/localhost.localdomain:runtime/native <wav file>", it's 
working.

On version 0.9.10:
===============
/tmp/pulse-<user>/ would be used, ex "/tmp/pulse-root"
I tried "paplay --server=/tmp/pulse-root/native <wav>" it's working, while I 
couldn't find where the symbol link is.

Some points
=> It's not easy to guess server name like this. It's better to have it 
documented or put in help info.
=> In addition, for PA server on other PC in the same network, how to specify 
the server name?

Subject: [pulseaudio-discuss] question about parameter "server" for paplay on 
0.9.13?

Hi,

1> From paman, I could find pulseaudio server launched and server name was  
"pulseaudio".
2> I tried "paplay --server=pulseaudio  <wav file>", while failed with error 
message "Connection failure: Connection refused".

In fact, in paplay.c, 
"pa_context_connect(context, server, 0, NULL);" => if server =NULL, means using 
default server, always succeeded. While if server name specified, failed.

Question:  how to use this parameter "server" for pa_context_connect()? 

Thanks!

Hao

PS> I use the same account for launching pulseaudio and paplay.
