NAME¶

libpipewire-module-pulse-tunnel - Pulse Tunnel

DESCRIPTION¶

The pulse-tunnel module provides a source or sink that tunnels all audio to a remote PulseAudio connection.

It is usually used with the PulseAudio or module-protocol-pulse on the remote end to accept the connection.

This module is usually used together with module-zeroconf-discover that will automatically load the tunnel with the right parameters based on zeroconf information.

MODULE NAME¶

libpipewire-module-pulse-tunnel

MODULE OPTIONS¶

• tunnel.mode: the desired tunnel to create, must be source or sink. (Default sink)
• pulse.server.address: the address of the PulseAudio server to tunnel to.
• pulse.latency: the latency to end-to-end latency in milliseconds to maintain (Default 200).
• reconnect.interval.ms: when the remote connection is broken, retry to connect with this interval in millisconds. A value of 0 disables recovery and will result in a module unload. (Default 0) (Since 1.1.0)
• stream.props: Extra properties for the local stream.

GENERAL OPTIONS¶

Options with well-known behavior.

• remote.name
• audio.format
• audio.rate
• audio.channels
• audio.position
• node.latency
• node.name
• node.description
• node.group
• node.virtual
• media.class
• target.object to specify the remote node.name or serial.id to link to

EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION OF A VIRTUAL SINK¶

# ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/my-pulse-tunnel.conf
context.modules = [
{   name = libpipewire-module-pulse-tunnel


    args = {


        tunnel.mode = sink


        # Set the remote address to tunnel to


        pulse.server.address = "tcp:192.168.1.126"


        #pulse.latency = 200


        #reconnect.interval.ms = 0


        #audio.rate=<sample rate>


        #audio.channels=<number of channels>


        #audio.position=<channel map>


        #target.object=<remote target name>


        stream.props = {


            # extra sink properties


        }


    }
}
