An Ansible role that installs PulseAudio as a system-wide-daemon on Fedora.
Running PulseAudio in system mode is usually a bad idea, but there are use cases where it makes sense to run it this way.
For configuring the firewall the service firewalld has to run and the package python-firewall needs to be installed.
Available variables are listed below, along with default values:
pulseaudio_card_profiles: []
pulseaudio_sink_formats: []
pulseaudio_network: no
pulseaudio_avahi: no
pulseaudio_firewall_zones: []
With the variable pulseaudio_card_profiles you can define the default profiles for each card.
This will be stored in the default.pa file.
Each entry in the list must contain the keys card as a number and profile, for example:
pulseaudio_card_profiles:
- card: 1
profile: output:iec958-stereo
Use the command pactl list cards for more information and a list of possible values on your system.
The supported formats of a sink can be defined with the variable pulseaudio_sink_formats.
This configuration will be implemented using a custom systemd service which starts after pulseaudio.
Each entry in the list must contain the keys sink as a search string and formats (separated by semicolon), for example:
pulseaudio_sink_formats:
- sink: iec958
formats: "pcm; ac3-iec61937; dts-iec61937"
Use the command pactl list sinks for more information about the available sinks.
Networking can be enabled with setting the variable pulseaudio_network to true.
If you also want auto-discovery using avahi, set pulseaudio_avahi to true.
Enabling avahi implicitly enables networking as well.
The variable pulseaudio_firewall_zones can be used to declare firewall zones in which pulseaudio should be accessible.
This means the ports 8080/tcp and 9777/udp will be opened.
Currently only firewalld is supported which is default on Fedora.
