🌸 NAME 🌸

pipewire-pulse-module-alsa-sink — the ALSA Sink, bestie 💖

okay so quick vibe check: this is a PipeWire PulseAudio module man page. If you're here you probably want to make an ALSA device show up as a PulseAudio-style sink. No cap, that's the whole assignment. ✨

🎀 MODULE NAME 🎀

The module name is module-alsa-sink — that's what you actually load, iykyk 🫶

Here's the full menu, gorgeous. Every single one, no skipping, no gatekeeping 🧚

  • sink_name — name for the sink 💖
  • sink_properties — properties for the sink 🌸
  • namereg_fail — when false, it'll attempt to synthesise a new sink_name if the one you wanted is already taken 😭

bestie reminder: those question marks on mmap, tsched, deferred_volume and fixed_latency_range are the original's little "yes/no?" energy — they're toggle-style options, fr fr. Don't @ me, that's just how they're written 💖
