💖 LIBPIPEWIRE-MODULE-X11-BELL(7) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Miscellaneous Information Manual ✨ this is the page for libpipewire-module-x11-bell(7) and yes the manual name is literally that whole mouthful, we're just gonna roll with it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

libpipewire-module-x11-bell — X11 Bell

like. that's the whole name. X11 Bell. short, sweet, iconic 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the x11-bell module intercepts the X11 bell events and then uses libcanberra to play a sound 🦋

that's it. that's the vibe. your lil bell goes ding and this module is the one making it go ding but with actual audio, no cap 🔥

🧚 GENERAL OPTIONS 🧚

there are no general options for this module. like, zero. none. nothing. the void. 🫶 it's giving low-maintenance fr fr

---

🍓 EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION 🍓

here's the whole thing, verbatim, do not @ me:

context.modules = [
 {   name = libpipewire-module-x11-bell }
     args = {
         #sink.name = @DEFAULT_SINK@
         sample.name = "bell-window-system"
         #x11.display = ":1"
         #x11.xauthority = "test"
]

see how some lines are commented out with #? that means they're just chillin there as suggestions bestie, they're not active 😭 and @DEFAULT_SINK@ is literally in there as a commented-out value, so when you uncomment it, just know that's what it says 💀

---

ngl the whole config is tiny. you could set this up in your sleep. main character energy for a module that just goes ding 🔔

---

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

this page didn't have a SEE ALSO section, so there's nothing to link out to here — just you, me, and the bell module 🎀

---

anyway bestie that's the whole page!! this came out of PipeWire 1.6.11 and the manual was the Miscellaneous Information Manual, libpipew...-x11-bell(7), so yeah — that's the source, that's the version, and we're done here 🦋✨💜
