In 5b-c, is it possible that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR was intended?
Yes, I meant XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. Sorry for the typo.
No problem, just wanted to be sure, thanks for clarifying.
But just to prove that no good deed goes unpunished, :) I'll pester you with
yet another question:
Can you describe what pieces of information the pa_context_connect() API
function takes into account in determining (or guessing at) the server?
The motivation for this question is that I'm wondering if this function is
the means by which a commandline option like "--server=XXXX" is handled
(e.g., by the caller providing "XXXX" to the function as a potential
candidate server, to be decided upon in addition to other pieces of info...) ?
If you give a "--server" argument to pactl, pactl passes that argument
unchanged when it calls pa_context_connect(), hence the command line
argument falls under point 1) in my list, for pactl.
Other applications might do things differently, e g by having a dialog
box where you can configure the server name, and some are probably
always passing NULL out of simplicity or laziness. Does that answer your
question?
