Description promeneur 2017-03-25 11:29:00 UTC

i want to connect 2 headsets for me and my friend to see a video.

i plug 2 bluetooth dongles
then
i paired a headset to one dongle
i paired the other headset to the other dongle
then
i created a virtual output of all outputs

great it works well but i don't need speakers output.

please supply the ability to select only the 2 headset.

You can pass the "slaves" argument to module-combine-sink. The argument is documented here: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Modules/#index11h3

I'm not sure if that is satisfactory, though. When you don't specify any slaves, the module works in an "automatic" mode that handles things neatly when sinks come and go, but if you use the slaves argument, all the listed sinks have to be present when module-combine-sink is loaded, and if any of the sinks go away, the combine sink is removed too. I don't know if that's a problem for you or not.
