"""Displays volume and mute status and controls for PulseAudio devices. Use wheel up and down to change volume, left click mutes, right click opens pavucontrol.
Aliases: pulseout (for outputs, such as headsets, speakers), pulsein (for microphones)
NOTE: Do **not** use this module directly, but rather use either pulseout or pulsein!
NOTE2: For the parameter names below, please also use pulseout or pulsein, instead of pulsectl
Parameters:
* 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.showbars: 'true' for showing volume bars, requires --markup=pango;
'false' for not showing volume bars (default)
* pulsectl.showdevicename: If set to 'true' (default is 'false'), the currently selected default device is shown.
Per default, the sink/source name returned by "pactl list sinks short" is used as display name.
As this name is usually not particularly nice (e.g "alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00.analog-stereo"),
its possible to map the name to more a user friendly name.
e.g to map "alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00.analog-stereo" to the name "Headset", add the following
bumblebee-status config entry: pulsectl.alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00.analog-stereo=Headset
Furthermore its possible to specify individual (unicode) icons for all sinks/sources. e.g in order to use the icon 🎧 for the
"alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00.analog-stereo" sink, add the following bumblebee-status config entry:
pulsectl.icon.alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00.analog-stereo=🎧
* Per default a left mouse button click mutes/unmutes the device. In case you want to open a dropdown menu to change the current
default device add the following config entry to your bumblebee-status config: pulsectl.left-click=select_default_device_popup
Requires the following Python module:
* pulsectl
