The PulseAudio client libraries check for the existence of the following environment variables and change their local configuration accordingly:

-

$PULSE_SERVER: the server string specifying the server to connect to when a client asks for a sound server connection and doesn't explicitly ask for a specific server.

+

$PULSE_SERVER: the server string specifying the server + to connect to when a client asks for a sound server connection and doesn't + explicitly ask for a specific server. The server string is a list of + server addresses separated by whitespace which are tried in turn. A server + address consists of an optional address type specifier (unix:, tcp:, tcp4:, + tcp6:), followed by a path or host address. A host address may include an + optional port number.

$PULSE_SINK: the symbolic name of the sink to connect to when a client creates a playback stream and doesn't explicitly ask for a specific sink.
