Audio

• In /home/user/.config/pulse/daemon.conf:

avoid-resampling = true
flat-volumes = no
resample-method = speex-float-10
avoid-resampling = yes
## These next options should be tailored to your use case and hardware. I mainly play files in 44100 and 96000 bit rate through headphones.
default-sample-format = float32le
default-sample-rate = 44100
alternate-sample-rate = 96000

Autologin on startup

See: docs

$ sudo cp -R /etc/sv/agetty-tty1 /etc/sv/agetty-autologin-tty1
$ sudo echo >> /etc/sv/agetty-autologin-tty1/conf "GETTY_ARGS=\"--autologin $USER --noclear\"
  BAUD_RATE=38400
  TERM_NAME=linux"

Logout, login, and:

$ sudo rm /var/service/agetty-tty1
$ sudo ln -s /etc/sv/agetty-autologin-tty1 /var/service

Auto xinit w/ fish

In ~/.config/fish/config.fish:

#set -l tty (fgconsole)
if test -z $DISPLAY
  #and [ tty = 1 ]
  exec startx
end

In general, use ~/.config/fish/config.fish for any ".profile" configuration

Create Pulseaudio module for OBS

(Assume that with listing short links 3 is the null one and 2 is the default)

$ pactl load-module module-null-sink
$ pactl list short sinks
$ pactl load-module module-combine-sink sink_name=OBScombine slaves=3,2
