[pulseaudio-discuss] Trouble with module-cli-protocol-tcp

[Jim Duda]

I'm trying to set a sink-mute using module-cli-protocol-tcp.

I'm getting "Failed to parse mute switch".  See below.

Note that if I do the same thing using module-cli, from the shell used to launch pulseaudio, this command works fine.

Also, how do I exit the tcp login?  exit always terminates the deamon.  The documentation suggests using ^D (control D).
I tried using ^D.  In response to ^D, I get "unkown command".
