OP: Why bother with PA at all? Surely it would be easier just to use alsa directly?
I want to be able to balance audio from various sources and pass them to different outputs without all the fiddling around with jack which is massively over-specified for my needs. PA does that fine for me - I have the motherboard audio device, a soundcard, and a usb-audio mixer (each connected to a separate amp) which together with PA allows me to route audio from software or external input(s) to various parts of the flat dynamically - but currently only from the server itself.
Interesting. I can't help with PA specifically as I generally find it causes more problems than it solves, but I'd probably start by looking at what gets run in a full session - any PA related processes, any relevant environment variables, possibly dbus, including all arguments. Then I'd try putting all those into a script and running that in my ssh command rather than just running Clementine as a single command. If that doesn't prove fruitful, I'd seriously consider the possibility of changing the approach to the problem. For example, run a full desktop session via xvnc and keep that running persistently, then connect to that in place of 'ssh -X user@host clementine'. (I can be more specific about that if you do end up going in this direction.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
