libpipewire-module-pulse-tunnel(7)

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
        }
    }
}
