  • How do the polypaudio libraries decide where to connect to?

    +

    The following rule applies:

    +
      +
    1. If the the application using the library specifies a server to connect to it is used. If the connection fails, the library fails too.
      2. +
    2. If the environment variable POLYP_SERVER is defined the library connects to that server. If the connection fails, the library fails too.
      3. +
    3. If $DISPLAY is set, the library tries to connect to that server and looks for the root window property POYLP_SERVER for the host to connect to. If POLYP_COOKIE is set it is used as authentication cookie.
      4. +
    4. If the client configuration file (~/.polypaudio/client.conf or /etc/polypaudio/client.conf) sets the server address, the library connects to that server. If the connection fails, the library fails too.
      5. +
    5. The library tries to connect to the default local UNIX socket for polypaudio servers. If the connection fails, it proceeds with the next item.
      6. +
    6. The library tries to connect to the default local TCP socket for polypaudio servers. If the connection fails, it proceeds with the next item.
      7. +
    7. If $DISPLAY is set, the library tries to connect to the default TCP port of that host. If the connection fails, it proceeds with the next item.
      8. +
