no way to specify pulseaudio server #10

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I'm running Squeezelite v0.9beta10.

There is no way to specify the pulseaudio server when using pulseaudio output 
via "-o pulse". Instead, the PULSE_SERVER environmental variable must be used 
as a workaround.

It would be useful if there was support for this with a separate flag or via -o 
pulse:hostname

I think you are going to need to use the environment variable as this is read 
direct by pulseaudio.  Squeezelite only sends it output to ALSA which will send 
to pulse audio if you set that as the output device.  It does not interact with 
pulse audio itself directly and so can't set any remote pulse audio server.
