[pulseaudio-discuss] Sharing X application the old way with sound

[Edouard Gaulué]

Hi community,

There is a time when too much information kills information (old 
information, partial information, wrong information...). I've been 
googling for hours now and read a lot but I still don't know what to do 
to implement my needs.

I think they are rather classical: I want to build a Firefox/Iceweasel 
application server with several simultaneous clients using Raspberry Pi 
using ssh, everything being in a LAN. Of course each user needs to hears 
just its own application sound.

I don't want to send a full desktop manager like Gnome, KDE to the 
client but just the application.

I've read that pulsaudio was per user, somewhere else per session, and 
in a last place that to work with several users at the same time I 
needed the "system" deamon. I've tried a lot...

I've also read the documentation regarding connexion between X11 and 
pulseaudio. I've looked arround x2go and xfreerdp but I never found this 
particular use case.

So, as of october 2014, is it just possible? With one only deamon 
instance? If yes what would be the main setting keys on the server and 
on the client? Is start-pulseaudio-x11 needed?

Best regards,
