[pulseaudio-discuss] sink-input.c: pa_sink_input_new vs PA_CORE_HOOK_SINK_INPUT_FIXATE

[Tanu Kaskinen]

Sorry for a delayed answer, I actually thought I sent a
reply already, but I just found out that sending mail has
been completely broken for a week... This is what I tried to
say, hopefully it's still helpful:

The glitch-free branch got merged yesterday to trunk, which
means that you now have a pa_proplist as part of
pa_sink_input_new_data. You can set arbitrary properties to
streams, by using environment variables, or
programmatically. As mentioned in
https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2008-May/001777.html
you should probably use the property media.role.
