PulseAudio is a networked low-latency sound server for Linux, POSIX and Windows systems.
~/.pulse/daemon.conf,
@pulseconfdir@/daemon.conf: configuration settings
for the PulseAudio daemon. If the version in the user's home
directory does not exist the global configuration file is
loaded. See for
more information.
~/.pulse/default.pa,
@pulseconfdir@/default.pa: the default configuration
script to execute when the PulseAudio daemon is started. If the
version in the user's home directory does not exist the global
configuration script is loaded. See for more information.
~/.pulse/client.conf,
@pulseconfdir@/client.conf: configuration settings
for PulseAudio client applications. If the version in the user's
home directory does not exist the global configuration file is
loaded. See for
more information.
SIGINT, SIGTERM: the PulseAudio daemon will shut
down (Same as --kill).
SIGHUP: dump a long status report to STDOUT or
syslog, depending on the configuration.
SIGUSR1: load module-cli, allowing runtime
reconfiguration via STDIN/STDOUT.
SIGUSR2: load module-cli-protocol-unix, allowing
runtime reconfiguration via a AF_UNIX socket. See for more information.
Group pulse-rt: if the PulseAudio binary is marked
SUID root, then membership of the calling user in this group
decides whether real-time and/or high-priority scheduling is
enabled. Please note that enabling real-time scheduling is a
security risk (see below).
Group pulse-access: if PulseAudio is running as a system
daemon (see --system above) access is granted to
members of this group when they connect via AF_UNIX sockets. If
PulseAudio is running as a user daemon this group has no
meaning.
User pulse, group pulse: if PulseAudio is running as a system
daemon (see --system above) and is started as root the
daemon will drop priviliges and become a normal user process using
this user and group. If PulseAudio is running as a user daemon
this user and group has no meaning.
