The PipeWire PulseAudio replacement

SYNOPSIS

pipewire-pulse [options]

DESCRIPTION

pipewire-pulse starts a PulseAudio-compatible daemon that integrates with the PipeWire media server, by running a pipewire process through a systemd service. This daemon is a drop-in replacement for the PulseAudio daemon.

OPTIONS

\par -h | --help Show help.

\par -v | --verbose Increase the verbosity by one level. This option may be specified multiple times.

\par --version Show version information.

\par -c | --config=FILE Load the given config file (Default: pipewire-pulse.conf).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The generic \ref pipewire-env__environment_variables "pipewire(1) environment variables" are supported.

In addition:

@PAR@ pulse-env PULSE_RUNTIME_PATH

@PAR@ pulse-env XDG_RUNTIME_DIR Directory where to create the native protocol pulseaudio socket.

@PAR@ pulse-env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC Extra buffering latency in milliseconds. This controls buffering logic in libpulse and may be set for PulseAudio client applications to adjust their buffering. (Setting it on the pipewire-pulse server has no effect.)
