That's not surprising, given that the format for default.pa and system.pa is the same. The convention in PulseAudio is, that the former be loaded when it is started in "user mode", and the latter be loaded when it is started in "system mode". However, there exists but one environment variable (PULSE_SCRIPT now that I recall its name), that overrides BOTH settings. Upon closer inspection, it seems however, that this environment variable is not the only way to to supply a script to load. Reading the output of `pulseaudio --help` also contains a few lines on that. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- STARTUP SCRIPT: -L, --load="MODULE ARGUMENTS" Load the specified plugin module with the specified argument -F, --file=FILENAME Run the specified script -C Open a command line on the running TTY after startup -n Don't load default script file --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > WDYT? It should be worded in a way, that does not cause such a misunderstanding. What I meant to convey (but failed at doing so) was something along the lines of "consult the PulseAudio documentation on how to load scripts", not "consult the PulseAudio documentation on system.pa". Not loading system.pa unless being told to do so is a Guix-specific feature ;) Can you patch this documentation in a way that people, who are not me, also understand it? I fully admit that I'm weak at explaining. Regards, Leo
