simple_audio_control

Some simple command-line tools for manipulating PulseAudio sound state.

Installation

To get the simple volume control commands in place, symlink audio.sh to some place in your $PATH, for example:

cd ~/bin
ln -s path/to/simple_audio_control/audio.sh vup
ln -s path/to/simple_audio_control/audio.sh vdown
ln -s path/to/simple_audio_control/audio.sh vmute
ln -s path/to/simple_audio_control/audio.sh vstate

If you want to use the source script audio.sh, you can safely move it (or symlink it) to your $PATH, it's completely stand-alone.

Some command-line tools for manupulating pulseaudio sound state

audio.sh, vup, vdown, vmute, vstate
Usage: audio.sh [-h|--help] [ma-+]+ [=]

Run audio.sh without arguments and get current sink volume and mute
state.

Run audio.sh with an arbritrary number of commands, each command
represented by a symbol:
  -  Turn the volume down by 5%
  +  Turn the volume up by 5%
  m  Toggle mute state
  a  Show source, sink, sink volume and sink mute state
  =  Show i3bar-friendly volume and mute state

Examples:
  audio.sh         Show volume and mute state
  audio.sh m       Toggle mute state
  audio.sh +++     Turn volume up 15%
  audio.sh m----   Toggle mute, then turn volume down 20%

Aliases
  vup is an alias for 'audio.sh +'
  vdown is an alias for 'audio.sh -'
  vmute is an alias for 'audio.sh m'
  vstate is an alias for 'audio.sh a'

Aliases also support all arguments supported by audio.sh. So:
'vup ++' increases volume 15% (5% for each +, and 5% because it 
was called as vup.) Though meaningless, this means that you can
run 'vmute m', which will mute then unmute immediately.
