## Overview

PulseAudio Preferences (`paprefs`) is a simple GTK based configuration dialog for the PulseAudio sound server.

Please note that this program can only configure local servers, and requires that a special module `module-gsettings` is loaded in the sound server.

Everybody loves screenshots.

## Current Status

Works perfectly.

## Documentation

There is not much to say. Just run `paprefs` and see for yourself.

## Requirements

Currently, `paprefs` is tested on Linux only. It should work on most Linux distributions.

`paprefs` requires `gtkmm` and `glademmm` installed.

Obviously `paprefs` requires an installation of PulseAudio (version 12.0 or newer). The module `module-gsettings` must be loaded in the daemon.

There is an implicit dependency on PackageKit. If you don't install PackageKit the 'Install' buttons in the UI for installing necessary PulseAudio plugins won't work.

## Installation

As this package is made with the Meson you should run `meson build` inside the distribution directory for configuring the source tree. After that you should run `ninja -C build` for compilation and `ninja -C build install` (as root) for installation of `paprefs`.

## Download

The newest release is always available from http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/paprefs/

The current release is 1.2

Get `paprefs`'s development sources from the Git repository (web interface):

    git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/paprefs.git
