<p>The PulseAudio client libraries check for the existance of the
following environment variables and change their local configuration
accordingly:</p>
- <p><arg>$PULSE_SERVER</arg>: the server string specifying the server to
connect to when a client asks for a sound server connection and doesn't
explicitly ask for a specific server.</p>
+ <p><arg>$PULSE_SERVER</arg>: 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.</p>
<p><arg>$PULSE_SINK</arg>: 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.</p>
