NAME

pipewire-pulse - The PipeWire PulseAudio replacement

SYNOPSIS

pipewire-pulse [/options/]

DESCRIPTION

pipewire-pulse starts a PulseAudio-compatible daemon that integrates with the PipeWire media server, by running a pipewire process through a systemd service. This daemon is a drop-in replacement for the PulseAudio daemon.

OPTIONS

-h | –help

Show help.

-v | –verbose

Increase the verbosity by one level. This option may be specified multiple times.

–version

Show version information.

-c | –config=FILE

Load the given config file (Default: pipewire-pulse.conf).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The generic pipewire(1) environment variables are supported.

In addition:

*PULSE_RUNTIME_PATH *

*XDG_RUNTIME_DIR *

Directory where to create the native protocol pulseaudio socket.

*PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC *

Extra buffering latency in milliseconds. This controls buffering logic in libpulse and may be set for PulseAudio client applications to adjust their buffering. (Setting it on the pipewire-pulse server has no effect.)
