Pulse Tunnel

The pulse-tunnel module provides a source or sink that tunnels all audio to a remote PulseAudio connection.

It is usually used with the PulseAudio or module-protocol-pulse on the remote end to accept the connection.

This module is usually used together with module-zeroconf-discover that will automatically load the tunnel with the right parameters based on zeroconf information.

# Module Name

libpipewire-module-pulse-tunnel

# Module Options

- tunnel.mode: the desired tunnel to create, must be source or sink. (Default sink)
- pulse.server.address: the address of the PulseAudio server to tunnel to.
- pulse.latency: the latency to end-to-end latency in milliseconds to maintain (Default 200).
- reconnect.interval.ms: when the remote connection is broken, retry to connect with this interval in millisconds. A value of 0 disables recovery and will result in a module unload. (Default 0) (Since 1.1.0)
- stream.props: Extra properties for the local stream.
