The best approach generally is to use<br> "tunnels" from your local PA server to the network server. This way you<br> can move your streams from local devices to remote ones without having<br> to stop and restart them.<br> <div class="im"><br> > 2/ The last thing I miss is the use of my multimedia keyboard to be able<br> > to control the server's volume.<br> > This is not a pulseaudio issue, rather a GNOME one (yes, I am using<br> > GNOME) But I figured that someone from pulseaudio could better<br> > understand this problem:<br> > So, If I use the volume control applet, it is totaly transparent for me<br> > (when it comes to adjusting the volume levels) weather I use my local<br> > server or the networked one.<br> > However, the actions of my volume up/down keys only affects my local<br> > sound server...too bad !<br> <br> </div>IIRC the volume keys affect the "default" sink.
