Since the list is so responsive, I thought I'd ask all my questions now.
Is there a terminal-mode volume control app for pulseaudio, comparable to
aumix? if not, I'd like to highlight that as a minor but significant
oversight, particularly if the system has users with no GUI login.
There are the command-line tools pactl and pacmd, but they aren't
comparable to aumix. Alsamixer is the closest alternative, but that's
not very good either with Pulseaudio. Would you like to write "aumix for
Pulseaudio"?
I did not know about pactl and pacmd. I'll dig into them, keeping in mind
that the community has yet to produce an 'aumix' replacement and that I
could contribute to such an effort.
Would it be appropriate to write an ncurses (do people still use ncurses?)
client that uses pactl as a backend? maybe something more integrated
would be desirable.
'pavucontrol' works from a local terminal but doesn't seem to work when
logged in remotely- I get a gnome dialog [so it's not an X problem] saying
'connection refused'
I don't know off-hand what's wrong. What's the setup? So far I know that
you have a server and a client, and X is running on the client, and you
are trying to run pavucontrol on the server.
The only client-server relationship is in X. I was expecting to control
the remote machine's volume control using a dialog that would appear on
the local machine's display: classic X11 forwarding.
But this is not important or desirable to me anymore since I suspect I can
accomplish my task using pactl.
Thanks for your help.
