You have the choice of runnning Pulseaudio either in system mode or user mode.
|
||||||
|
For headless servers, i.e. systems without desktop users, system mode is
|
||||||
|
recommended.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If there is a desktop user logged in most of the time, a setup with network
|
||||||
|
access via localhost only for daemons is a more appropriate solution, since the
|
||||||
|
normal user administration (with, e.g., `pulseaudio -k`) works as advertised.
|
||||||
|
Also, the user specific configuration for pulseaudio is preserved across
|
||||||
|
sessions as expected.

System mode is generally only recommended for headless servers, i.e.,
|
|
||||||
systems without desktop users.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## User Mode with Network Access
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If there is a desktop user logged in most of the time, a setup with
|
|
||||||
[network access via localhost
|
|
||||||
only](http://billauer.co.il/blog/2014/01/pa-multiple-users/)
|
|
||||||
for daemons is a more appropriate solution, since the normal user
|
|
||||||
administration (with, e.g., `pulseaudio -k`) works as
|
|
||||||
advertised. Also, the user specific configuration for pulseaudio is
|
|
||||||
preserved across sessions as expected.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Quoting from the above blog, the necessary setup (per user) boils down
|
|
||||||
to:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Step1: Copy system pulseaudio configuration to the users home directory
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
mkdir -p ~/.pulse
|
|
||||||
cp /etc/pulse/default.pa ~/.pulse/
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Step 2: Enable TCP access from localhost only
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Edit the file `~/.pulse/default.pa` , adding the following line at the end:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Step 3: Restart the pulseaudio deamon
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
pulseaudio -k
|
|
||||||
# OR
|
|
||||||
pulseaudio -D
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Step 4:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In the `audio` section of `/etc/forked-daapd.conf`, set `server` to `localhost`:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
server = "localhost"
|
|
||||||
```
