Usability improvements

arrow key navigation - added default keybindings for that. On that note as well - I need to create a better documentation on how to add keybindings
closing context menus - done
The top bar is now Output / Input / Cards, with the one open being highlighted

input of exact volume values isn't done yet

Rsmixer now better handles pulseaudio starts/stops/restarts. The only bug is that when PA is off keybindings (including exiting the program) don't function properly. Will fix soon

sorry for long reponse time. Got really tired with the project after the last push to publish it for people

You're doing this if your own volition, likely in your free time.
You don't need to feel bad for taking however long you need to recharge.

I've done some fixes for rsmixer to handle pulseaudio being off or crashing. Seems to be working for me, but since you've already brought that up, could you maybe test whether it works on your machine? Both in the scenario you mentioned and when pulseaudio just crashes when rsmixer is running. Thanks in advance

I'll try to test it in the next couple of days.

Quitting while the PulseAudio server is off works fine, but there's this strange flickering that happens every time rsmixer tries to reconnect. It's almost as if you're pre-emptively drawing the normal UI and then clearing it once the connection fails.

Another thing I noticed is that certain volume levels don't always correspond to the same dB reading. Sometimes, 100% will result in a 0.00 dB reading, but after adjusting the volume away from 100% and back, the dB reading is 0.24 instead of 0.00. It's not a dealbreaker by any means, but it is annoying.

That's totally possible, I cut corners a bit and redraw the whole screen every second (was a bit too eager to test - easy fix though)

Never thought that this would be annoying to any one. The way rsmixer works is it calculates what 1% is and then adds/substracts it from what was there earlier. Again, easy fix and should be done in the next couple of days

Welp. It has been a while since I last checked in on this issue (partly because I moved back to Windows for a while).

It seems like you've implemented all the features I asked for as of the latest release, so I'll go ahead and close this now.
