LinuxSecurity.com: Some issues relating to thread cancellation have been discovered in the pulseaudio package shipped with Mandriva Linux 2009.0. These issues could result in the crash of an application acting as a pulseaudio client. This condition is greatly exacerbated when the client is unable to connect to the pulseaudio server. Due to the fact that libcanberra is used to play event sounds in GTK apps, this problem could present itself when running GTK applications as root which, under some circumstances, was unable to connect to the user's pulseaudio daemon.

NAME

       paplay - Play back audio files on a PulseAudio sound server

SYNOPSIS

       paplay [options] FILE

       paplay --help

       paplay --version

DESCRIPTION

       paplay  is a simple tool for playing back audio files on a PulseAudio sound server. It understands all audio file formats supported by lib-
       sndfile.

OPTIONS

       -h | --help
	      Show help.

       --version
	      Show version information.

       -v | --verbose
	      Enable verbose operation. Dumps the current playback time to STDERR during playback.

       -s | --server=SERVER
	      Choose the server to connect to.

       -d | --device=SINK
	      Specify the symbolic name of the sink to play this file on.

       -n | --client-name=NAME
	      Specify the client name paplay shall pass to the server when connecting.

       --stream-name=NAME
	      Specify the stream name paplay shall pass to the server when creating the stream.

       --volume=VOLUME
	      Specify the initial playback volume to use. Choose a value between 0 (silent) and 65536 (100% volume).

       --channel-map=CHANNELMAP
	      Explicitly choose a channel map when playing back this stream. The argument should be a  comma  separated  list  of  channel  names:
	      front-left,  front-right,  mono, front-center, rear-left, rear-right, rear-center, lfe, front-left-of-center, front-right-of-center,
	      side-left, side-right, top-center, top-front-center, top-front-left, top-front-right, top-rear-left,  top-rear-right,  top-rear-cen-
	      ter, or any of the 32 auxiliary channel names aux0 to aux31.

LIMITATIONS

       Due  to a limitation in libsndfile paplay currently does not always set the correct channel mapping for playback of multichannel (i.e. sur-
       round) audio files, even if the channel mapping information is available in the audio file.
