Read the PulseAudio server credentials currently set on the X11 root window and dump them in a human readable form. This reads the PULSE_SERVER, PULSE_SINK, PULSE_SOURCE and PULSE_COOKIE properties.

Similar to -d, however dumps them in a Bourne shell compatible format so they may be used together with the eval shell command to set the $PULSE_SERVER, $PULSE_SINK, $PULSE_SOURCE environment variables. Also reads the authentication cookie from the root window and stores it in ~/.pulse-cookie.

Export the currently locally used sound server, sink, source configuration to the X11 root window. This takes the data from the $PULSE_SERVER, $PULSE_SINK, $PULSE_SOURCE environment variables and combines them with the data from ~/.pulse/client.conf (or @pulseconfdir@/client.conf if that file does not exist). If specific options are passed on the command line (-S, -O, -I, -c, see below), they take precedence. Also uploads the local authentication cookie ~/.pulse-cookie to the X11 server.

Removes the configured PulseAudio configuration from the X11 root window.

Connect to the specified X11 display, instead of the default one configured in $DISPLAY.

Only valid for -e: export the specified PulseAudio server as default to the X11 display instead of the one configured via local configuration.

Only valid for -e: export the specified sink as default sink to the X11 display instead of the one configured via local configuration.

Only valid for -e: export the specified source as default to the X11 display instead of the one configured via local configuration.

Only valid for -e: export the PulseAudio authentication cookie stored in the specified file to the X11 display instead of the one stored in ~/.pulse-cookie.
