Presently, it supports: + +- Increasing volume +- Decreasing volume +- Toggling the interface mute +- Toggling the microphone mute\* + +in both pulseaudio and ALSA\*. Once I get OpenBSD and FreeBSD up and running, I will add those sound options too. + +It depends on: + +- pamixer (pulseaudio) +- amixer (alsa) +- pgrep (with the -x command, standard in BSD and \*/Linux systems) + +#### But *why* though? + +I made volsv so that I could use it with keybindings to control the volume, regardless of whether or not I was running pulseaudio, since I dislike pulseaudio and tend to avoid it when possible. This means I can have a consistent keybinding, whether or not I'm using it. Additionally, this would give me less keybindings to have to port to OpenBSD, which I occasionally install from time to time, although I haven't booted into it since I started writing this script. Additionally, it has provided a fun learning experience as I learn to write scripts. + + + +\*Volsv does not yet support muting the microphone in ALSA. |
