Overview

xmms-pulse is an XMMS output plugin for the PulseAudio sound server.

Current Status

There's currently no configuration dialog. Use $PULSE_SERVER and $PULSE_SINK to change the default output sinks.

Documentation

There is not much to say. Just install this software, the driver will then be available in XMMS.

Requirements

Currently, xmms-pulse is tested on Linux only.

xmms-pulse was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from July 2004, it should work on most other Linux distributions (and maybe Unix versions) since it uses GNU autoconf for source code configuration.

Obviously xmms-pulse requires an installation of PulseAudio (version 0.9.x) and xmms (version 1.2.10 works, earlier versions probably as well).

Installation

As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run ./configure inside the distribution directory for configuring the source tree. After that you should run make for compilation and make install (as root) for installation of xmms-pulse.

Make sure to have XMMS's development package xmms-dev installed and the script xmms-config in your $PATH before configuring the source code.

Acknowledgements
