you could write a small executable to query/set the mixer props - and that small binary can use glib... now... if there is an api to swizzle with PA. there thus MUSt be a protocol it talks to PA. this protocol must obviously then exist in some form (be it a plain socket, a dbus api, etc.) so.. my guess is you missed something? > heyo, > > I spent several hours today examining pulseaudio, planning to start hacking on > the mixer code.
