Pulse Audio control in python
I have been using a shell script to toggle pulse audio sinks for some time. It worked well enough for switching output among several profiles on a single audio card. I recently upgraded my set-up to new hardware. This hardware for some reason, reported the analog stereo output and the digital HDMI output as different sound cards. So my patoggle script did not work well enough anymore.
Since parsing the output of the pacmd
in shell script was becoming a pain, I decided to re-write
the toggling script in python
. The new script is here.
This script depends of two packages:
It can be used to control volume and switch audio output.
