Well, not quite. > And if so: How can I prevent that? Specifically, applications that request pulseaudio (via dbus, IIUC) will cause it to start automatically, regardless of whether they're graphical or not (e.g., on my home server MPD causes pulseaudio to start). This can, however, be prevented by setting "autospawn=no" in .config/pulse/client.conf. > Next problem is: that armbian offers a LOT of pulseaudio > related packages...any hint what I need to install as a > minimalistic solution (this is an embedded device with > far less resources and far less hoursepower...)? I have no experience here, sorry. > And: What do I need to install on my GENTOO PC? Well, at minimum media-sound/pulseaudio. I'm not sure of anything to recommend here, so I'll defer to the Gentoo wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PulseAudio. Also see the upstream documentation: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/. In particular check out the module documentation, since if you go the pulseaudio route you'll probably be setting up a tunnel, so I would suggest searching there for "tunnel" (although I'm not up to speed on what's currently possible in PA land, so maybe there's a better way). > Thanks a lot in advance for any help! > > Best regards, > Meino HTH -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
