Installation

Install pulseaudio-control from MELPA, or put pulseaudio-control.el in your load-path and do a (require 'pulseaudio-control).

Usage

Initially, the pulseaudio-control keymap is not bound to any prefix. You can call the command pulseaudio-control-default-keybindings to use the prefix C-x / to access the pulseaudio-control keymap globally; if you wish to use this prefix by default, add the line:

(pulseaudio-control-default-keybindings)

to your init file.

The default keybindings in the pulseaudio-control keymap are:

• + : Increase the volume of the currently-selected sink by pulseaudio-control-volume-step (pulseaudio-control-increase-volume).

• - : Decrease the volume of the currently-selected sink by pulseaudio-control-volume-step (pulseaudio-control-decrease-volume).

• v : Directly specify the volume of the currently-selected sink (pulseaudio-control-set-volume). The value can be:

  • a percentage, e.g. '10%';
  • in decibels, e.g. '2dB';
  • a linear factor, e.g. '0.9' or '1.1'.

• m : Toggle muting of the currently-selected sink (pulseaudio-control-toggle-current-sink-mute).

• x : Toggle muting of a sink, specified by index (pulseaudio-control-toggle-sink-mute-by-index).

• e : Toggle muting of a sink, specified by name (pulseaudio-control-toggle-sink-mute-by-name).

• i : Select a sink to be the current sink, specified by index (pulseaudio-control-select-sink-by-index).

• n : Select a sink to be the current sink, specified by name (pulseaudio-control-select-sink-by-name).

• d : Display volume of the currently-selected sink (pulseaudio-control-display-volume).

• ] : Toggle use of @DEFAULT_SINK@ for volume operations (pulseaudio-control-toggle-use-of-default-sink).

Customisation options, including pulseaudio-control-volume-step, are available via the pulseaudio-control customize-group.
