Package: pulseaudio-utils Version: 1.0-4 Severity: minor
pactl control is very hard to use for very simple issues. for example I want now to create a keyboard hotkeys that will make to volume up/down and mute on the default pulseaudio device. thats why I need simple console control utility. community have created great amount of scripts to implement this. for example I found and use now this script: https://gist.github.com/1791270 I executed such commands: wgethttps://raw.github.com/gist/1791270/volume.rb sudo mv volume.rb /usr/local/bin/pulse-mixer sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pulse-mixer sudo nano /usr/local/bin/pulse-mixer # Turn the music up! def volume_up puts "volume up" volume_set_relative*0x200* end # ... and down again def volume_down puts "volume down" volume_set_relative*-0x200* end then I went to xfce keyboard control center and set hotkeys to "pulse-mixer up", "pulse-mixer down" and "pulse-mixer mute". this works great Can you add such script or something similar to pulseaudio-utils? thanks.
