     * pulsectl.autostart: If set to 'true' (default is 'false'), automatically starts the pulsectl daemon if it is not running
     * pulsectl.percent_change: How much to change volume by when scrolling on the module (default is 2%)
     * pulsectl.limit: Upper limit for setting the volume (default is 0%, which means 'no limit')

     * pulsectl.showdevicename: If set to 'true' (default is 'false'), the currently selected default device is shown.
