TLDR: X2Go Client 4.0.2.0 will now keep on using the old cookie path like "C:\Users\mike\.x2go\pulse\.pulse-cookie", same as it did with 4.0.1.3, no matter what version of PulseAudio is in use.
Tanuk (the lead developer on PulseAudio) clarified that pulseaudio.exe (the PulseAudio server) isn't supposed to respect %PULSE_COOKIE%, only the client libs (on the x2go server) are supposed to respect it. (I should have read the pulseaudio (1) manpage more closely.) Instead, pulseaudio.exe respects "auth-cookie", that we need to specify for "module-native-protocol-tcp" in config.pa. "auth-cookie" doesn't seem to be in the manpages, but it is specified in the 2nd link below. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75006 http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Modules/#index22h3 So I updated X2Go Client's Windows cookie handling logic to specify old the path for PulseAudio 3.0 & later. I then removed the logic to accommodate the new path. The end result is that when X2GoClient 4.0.2.0 is released, we will keep using the old cookie path, thus simplifying things for any power users who need to manage their .x2go directory. This change is in commits: a6ab2c7879e3fb23edee2acaa4e3e21d978aa201 034afc36143134ce0fe272422bd410ca5125834e And I've tested this change successfully. _______________________________________________ X2Go-Dev mailing list X2Go-Dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
