Have you tried redirecting the port in SSH? Then you get the native PA with SSH. I am not sure if there is some standard port.<div><br clear="all">Fred Frigerio<br><br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 1:01 PM, Quinn Plattel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:qiet72@gmail.com">qiet72@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> Here is pactl stat on the client side:<div class="im"><br><br>PULSE_LOG=99 pactl stat<br>-------------------------------------------------<br></div>Using private memory pool with 1024 slots of size 16,0 KiB each, total size is 16,0 MiB, maximum usable slot size is 16344<br> Trying to connect to /home/user/.pulse/fbd5d27658d3fcf30cb25bf800531799:runtime/native...<br>connect(): No such file or directory (2)<br>Trying to connect to /var/run/pulse/native...<br>SHM possible: no<div class="im"><br> Protocol version: remote 16, local 16<br></div> Negotiated SHM: no<br>Currently in use: 1 blocks containing 16,0 KiB bytes total.<br>Allocated during whole lifetime: 263989 blocks containing 231,3 MiB bytes total.<div class="im"><br>Sample cache size: 0 B<br></div>User name: pulse<br> Host Name: Nokia-N900<br> Server Name: pulseaudio<br>Server Version: 0.9.15<br>Default Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 48000Hz<div class="im"><br>Default Channel Map: front-left,front-right<br></div>Default Sink: sink.music<br>Default Source: source.record<br> Cookie: 26e54bb2<br> -------------------------------------------------<br><br>br,<br><font color="#888888">Quinn</font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 6:58 PM, Quinn Plattel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:qiet72@gmail.com" target="_blank">qiet72@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br><br>This is interesting:<br><br>client: ssh -XL 4713:localhost:4713 user@server<br>server: PULSE_LOG=99 pactl stat<br> ----------------------------------------<br>Using shared memory pool with 1024 slots of size 64.0 KiB each, total size is 64.0 MiB, maximum usable slot size is 65472<br> Trying to connect to /home/quinn/.pulse/1ffe0fd6b5c9262aaa374e734c2cc8d0-runtime/native...<br>SHM possible: yes<br>Protocol version: remote 16, local 16<br>Negotiated SHM: yes<br>Currently in use: 1 blocks containing 63.9 KiB bytes total.<br> Allocated during whole lifetime: 15741 blocks containing 81.5 MiB bytes total.<br>Sample cache size: 0 B<br>User name: quinn<br>Host Name: server<br>Server Name: pulseaudio<br>Server Version: 0.9.21-63-gd3efa-dirty<br>Default Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 44100Hz<br> Default Channel Map: front-left,front-right<br>Default Sink: auto_null<br>Default Source: auto_null.monitor<br>Cookie: 6ccbf517<br>----------------------------------------<br>server: export PULSE_SERVER=localhost:4713<br> server: PULSE_LOG=99 pactl stat<br>---------------------------------------<br>Using shared memory pool with 1024 slots of size 64.0 KiB each, total size is 64.0 MiB, maximum usable slot size is 65472<br>Trying to connect to localhost:4713...<br> connect(): Connection refused<br>Connection failure: Connection refused<br>---------------------------------------<br><br>Ideas?<br><font color="#888888"><br>Quinn<br><br></font><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 5:48 PM, Colin Guthrie <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gmane@colin.guthr.ie" target="_blank">gmane@colin.guthr.ie</a>></span> wrote:<br> </div><div><div></div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br> <br> 'Twas brillig, and Quinn Plattel at 20/05/11 15:52 did gyre and gimble:<br> <div>> I am currently trying to attempt to redirect pulse audio sound from a<br> > server to a client through ssh.

We can however piggy back on the X11 forwarding<br> built into SSH for our authentication (cookie) and server connection<br> strings.<br> <br> If this is on a private network (direct routing) then the built in way<br> is the best, but it doesn't go over SSH. You just need to ensure the<br> machine you're sshing from has the netwrok protocol module loaded into<br> PA (pactl load-module module-protocol-native-tcp, or put it in your<br> <a href="http://default.pa" target="_blank">default.pa</a>) and make sure port 4713/tcp is open for external connections.<br> <br> Also ensure that module-x11-publish is loaded on the client side and you<br> should get some interesting results from "xprop -root | grep PULSE".<br> <br> Then when you ssh with x11 forwarding running the xprop command on the<br> remote machine should show you the same results.<br> <br> <br> <br> If you cannot use the direct connection, just setup TCP tunnels in your<br> SSH config and then hack the PULSE_SERVER property or env var on the<br> remote machine to point to e.g. localhost:4713 which will actually be a<br> tunnel back to localhost:4713 on the remote machine. The PULSE_COOKIE<br> stuff already forwarded should be enough for auth.<br> <br> For debugging connections:<br> <br> PULSE_LOG=99 pactl stat<br> <br> This shows you e.g. the server name it's trying to connect to etc.<br> <br> <br> Hope that helps (although I wrote it really quick so apologies if it<br> doesn't! I'll clarify later if needs be :D)<br> <br> Col<br> <br> <br> --<br> <br> Colin Guthrie<br> gmane(at)<a href="http://colin.guthr.ie" target="_blank">colin.guthr.ie</a><br> <a href="http://colin.guthr.ie/" target="_blank">http://colin.guthr.ie/</a><br> <br> Day Job:<br> Tribalogic Limited [<a href="http://www.tribalogic.net/" target="_blank">http://www.tribalogic.net/</a>]<br> Open Source:<br> Mageia Contributor [<a href="http://www.mageia.org/" target="_blank">http://www.mageia.org/</a>]<br> PulseAudio Hacker [<a href="http://www.pulseaudio.org/" target="_blank">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</a>]<br> Trac Hacker [<a href="http://trac.edgewall.org/" target="_blank">http://trac.edgewall.org/</a>]<br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> pulseaudio-discuss mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de" target="_blank">pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de</a><br> <a href="https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss" target="_blank">https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss</a><br> </blockquote></div></div></div><br><br clear="all"><br> </blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br></div></div><div><div></div><div class="h5">-- <br>Best regards/Med venlig hilsen,<br>Quinn Plattel<br> </div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br> pulseaudio-discuss mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de">pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de</a><br> <a href="https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss" target="_blank">https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br></div>
