📄 Description

Some audio libraries (e.g., FMOD used by Dwarf Fortress) ignore the PULSE_SINK environment variable and connect to PulseAudio's server-side default sink instead of the session-specific sink. This causes no audio when streaming.

This commit adds a background monitoring script that automatically moves audio streams from the wrong sink to the correct session-specific sink.

Added files:

/etc/cont-init.d/50-pulse-audio.sh: Init script that starts monitoring
/opt/gow/pulse-monitor: Background monitoring script

Fixes audio issues with games that don't respect PULSE_SINK env var.

Created as a workaround for #269
