| PulseAudio Loopback Switch | Instructions on how to use Pulseaudio loopback modules to build a flexible whole-home audio system. | pulseaudio.png |

0.16 | Local Polling |
|
The goal behind this switch is to allow a very flexible whole home audio system based upon PulseAudio.
For example, for a system with a 7.1 surround sound card, and 3 instances of MPD running, it is possible to quickly route the output of any MPD instance to any of the 8 possible (4 stereo) channels on the sound card, by loading/unloading a loopback module. This loading/unloading functionality is provided by this component. When the switch is on, the loopback module is loaded. When the switch is off, the module is not loaded.
The benefit of this approach is that this audio routing can occur without modifying the design-time configuration of MPD or PulseAudio.
This integration uses a TCP connection to control a local or remote PulseAudio server. So there are no local dependencies.
To enable this switch, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
- platform: pulseaudio_loopback
{% configuration %} sink_name: description: The name of the Pulseaudio sink that will receive the audio. required: true type: string source_name: description: The name of the Pulseaudio source that will supply the audio. required: true type: string name: description: Name of the switch. required: false default: paloopback type: string host: description: The IP address or host name of the PulseAudio server. required: false default: localhost type: string port: description: The port that Pulseaudio is listening on. required: false default: 4712 type: integer buffer_size: description: How much data to load from Pulseaudio at once. required: false default: 1024 type: integer tcp_timeout: description: How long to wait for a response from Pulseaudio before giving up. required: false default: 3 type: integer {% endconfiguration %}
This integration relies on raw TCP commands to PulseAudio. In order for PulseAudio to accept commands with this component, module-cli-protocol must be loaded on the PulseAudio server.
