Prevent Unwanted Audio Connections: In environments where only certain audio outputs are allowed (e.g., using a dedicated audio interface or a fixed set of speakers), disallowing module loading might prevent accidental or unwanted use of Bluetooth audio devices. | Prevent Unwanted Audio Connections: In environments where only certain audio outputs are allowed (e.g., using a dedicated audio interface or a fixed set of speakers), disallowing module loading might prevent accidental or unwanted use of Bluetooth audio devices. | ||
Security Reasons: As mentioned, controlling what modules can be loaded might be part of a security strategy to prevent rogue or insecure Bluetooth devices from being accessed via PulseAudio. | Security Reasons: As mentioned, controlling what modules can be loaded might be part of a security strategy to prevent rogue or insecure Bluetooth devices from being accessed via PulseAudio. | ||
