[pulseaudio-discuss] Pulseaudio dynamic tunnel sink

[Pascal Heinrich]

Hi,

in my setup I have multiple tunnel-sinks defined and they are combined 
via module-combine-sink.
All is running great and syncronous.

Now sometimes the master pulseaudio server with mpd install comes up 
before all slaves are running.
Is there any way to append a sink to a already running combine-sink?

I tried unload-module module-combine-sink and add the new tunnel-sink 
followed by recreating the module-combine-sink including the new one.
Unfortunately this results in mpd isn't able to play anything

mpd.log
Jan 23 17:14 : pulse_output: Failed to enable "My Pulse Output" [pulse]: 
pa_context_connect() has failed: Connection refused
Jan 23 17:14 : output: Failed to open audio output


pulseaudio.log
a thousand times ...
...

module-udev-detect.c: Resuming all sinks and sources of card 
alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0.

So is there any way to do this dynamically?

Best regards,
