                CC: lennart at poettering.net
          Assignee: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Minimal syntax checking is done on server specs
                    provided via --server or $PULSE_SERVER
        QA Contact: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: minor
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: hortplumber at gmail.com
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: misc
           Product: PulseAudio

Many forms of invalid server specifications provided via --server or
PULSE_SERVER envar do not get flagged as syntax errors.

Example:

  $ pactl -s '*()&#$' list
  Connection failure: Connection refused  

Flagging the server spec as invalid would help to avoid user footshoot.
