Colin Guthrie 7276faca72 launch: Disable autospawn by default when systemd daemon support is enabled.
When enabled, this method is prefered over pulseaudio's built in
systems so we should try our best to ensure that it cannot be spawned
outside of the mechanisms desired.

Packagers should call 'systemctl --global enable pulseaudio.socket' to
enable the socket for all users, or alternatively ship an enabling
symlink in /usr/lib/systemd/user/sockets.target.wants/ folder. It may
also make sense for distributions to add in a ConditionNNN= line to the
socket unit if they have a downstream mechanism for enabling or
disabling pulseaudio.

If individual users wish to opt out of this vendor (or administrator)
decision, they can call 'systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket'

<synopsis>

</synopsis>
<description>
<p>The PulseAudio client library reads configuration directives from
a file <file>~/.config/pulse/client.conf</file> on startup and when that
file doesn't exist from
<file>@PA_DEFAULT_CONFIG_DIR@/client.conf</file>.</p>
<p>The configuration file is a simple collection of variable
declarations. If the configuration file parser encounters either ;
or # it ignores the rest of the line until its end.</p>
<p>For the settings that take a boolean argument the values
<opt>true</opt>, <opt>yes</opt>, <opt>on</opt> and <opt>1</opt>
are equivalent, resp. <opt>false</opt>, <opt>no</opt>,
<opt>off</opt>, <opt>0</opt>.</p>
</description>
<section name="Directives">
<option>
<p><opt>default-sink=</opt> The default sink to connect to. If
specified overwrites the setting in the daemon. The environment
variable <opt>$PULSE_SINK</opt> however takes precedence.</p>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>default-source=</opt> The default source to connect
to. If specified overwrites the setting in the daemon. The
environment variable <opt>$PULSE_SOURCE</opt> however takes
precedence.</p>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>default-server=</opt> The default sever to connect
to. The environment variable <opt>$PULSE_SERVER</opt> takes
precedence.</p>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>autospawn=</opt> Autospawn a PulseAudio daemon when
needed. Takes a boolean value, defaults to <opt>@PA_DEFAULT_AUTOSPAWN@</opt>.</p>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>daemon-binary=</opt> Path to the PulseAudio daemon to
run when autospawning. Defaults to a path configured at compile
time.</p>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>extra-arguments=</opt> Extra arguments to pass to the
PulseAudio daemon when autospawning. Defaults to
<opt>--log-target=syslog</opt>
</p>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>cookie-file=</opt> Specify the path to the PulseAudio
authentication cookie. Defaults to
<file>~/.config/pulse/cookie</file>.</p>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>enable-shm=</opt> Enable data transfer via POSIX
shared memory. Takes a boolean argument, defaults to
<opt>yes</opt>.</p>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>shm-size-bytes=</opt> Sets the shared memory segment
size for clients, in bytes. If left unspecified or is set to 0
it will default to some system-specific default, usually 64
MiB. Please note that usually there is no need to change this
value, unless you are running an OS kernel that does not do
memory overcommit.</p>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>auto-connect-localhost=</opt> Automatically try to
connect to localhost via IP. Enabling this is a potential
security hole since connections are only authenticated one-way
and a rogue server might hence fool a client into sending it its
private (e.g. VoIP call) data. This was enabled by default on
PulseAudio version 0.9.21 and older. Defaults to
<opt>no</opt>.</p>
</option>
<option>
<p><opt>auto-connect-display=</opt> Automatically try to connect
to the host X11's $DISPLAY variable is set to. The same security
issues apply as to <opt>auto-connect-localhost=</opt>. Defaults
to <opt>no</opt>.</p>
</option>
