This is sacand, a Simple Audio Control and Notifications Daemon
As it name oaths to imply, this is intended to be a simple audio control daemon that sends notifications reporting pulseaudio status through libnotify
The program itself is a daemon that can be started by running the compiled program.
To build the daemon you only need to execute the following command:
cargo buildTo communicate with the daemon, you need to write to the UNIX socket that the daemon is listening to:
printf "-5" | ncat -U "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/sacand"The messages that the daemon accepts are the following:
| Message | Meaning |
|---|---|
| "+n" | Increment the volume n% |
| "-n" | Decrement the volume n% |
If the message is any other than the ones described in the table, the daemon will simply show a notification displaying the current volume.
