MPD has pretty good Wiki and pulse-audio configuration is covered too. I am using Sonata as frontend and i get connected, playlists are available, i can choose a song, play it - except getting audio out. All worked with Ubuntu 11.10 and even with earlier 12.04. And where it's at, is hoping someone on SO knows something I don't and can remote control pulseaudio (ideally from a phone, which is pretty much how every remote works now).I am trying to run MPD server on Ubuntu 12.04.3. It was finding mention of PaWebControl today that prompted me to reopen this todo and see where it was at. My guess is, the easiest solution is to build reverb again but that doesn't look easy and so has been on my todo list for a long long time and still is. But I find no useful tips or clues on how to pactl to control a remote pulseaudio system, nor can I find any apps to do that that are easily available. Now I see a clue in PaWebControl as it has pactl as a dependency, so I installed that, and sure enough pactl has a -server option and that could conceivably connect to a pulse audio server on another system and control it!īut can I find any examples, no? Again all searches I've done are confounded by endless networking tips to get pulseaudio streaming music on a network. What I'm interested in is a solution (remote control of Pulse Audio), not a workaround (I have those). Only this middle on causes grief.Īnd I admit that share the reasons not because they are in the least relevant, it is a totally understandable desire to remote control pulseaudio for a hundred other reasons, but (and here is decades of on-line experience talking) I want to forestall the inevitable (and I admit unwelcome) questioning of why I want to remote control pulse audio. If other apps are on the same PC indeed, they may be running at same time, sound elsewhere, or just at other times, but either way there are plenty of times, it's useful to manipulate the apps volume and other times the systems (bringing all apps up or down in volume).Īnd so I would feel so much more comfortable and in control if anywhere around the house on wifi I could control Kodi's volume, the AV receiver's columns (check and check) AND pulse audio's volume. and it's because someone set the Linux volume down earlier in the day and I have to physically to the PC to up it again. So if other people are around, they fiddle the volume using the system control, so pulse audio sometimes, and it gets set low and I'm downstairs in my workshop and can't crank the volume up high enough to enjoy properly, Kore at max, AV receiver at max. And this is problematic if you share your system eitehr with other people or otehr apps (and I do both). It can control app volume too but that's still a Pulse Audio control. So who cares? Clearly very few people which is what puzzles me, but here is the catch, the Linux volume control (available in the system tray) adjusts Pulse Audio volume.
