## Usage [Read here.](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/wiki/Widgets#usage) ### Description Shows and controls PulseAudio volume. ```lua local volume = lain.widget.pulseaudio() ``` ## Input table Variable | Meaning | Type | Default --- | --- | --- | --- `timeout` | Refresh timeout seconds | number | 5 `devicetype | PulseAudio device type | string ("sink", "source") | "sink" `cmd` | PulseAudio command | string | [link](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/blob/master/widget/pulseaudio.lua#L28) `scallback` | PulseAudio sink callback | function | `nil` `settings` | User settings | function | empty function `cmd` catch infos from current default sink. You can redefine it, being sure that the ouput is something like this: ```shell * index: 0 volume: front-left: 18340 / 28% / -33.18 dB, front-right: 18340 / 28% / -33.18 dB muted: no device.string = "front:1" ``` **Note:** you can set PulseAudio default sink like this: `pacmd set-default-sink #sink`. If [`sed`](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/blob/master/widget/pulseaudio.lua#L28) doesn't work, you can try with `grep`: ```shell pacmd list-sinks | grep -e $(pactl info | grep -e 'ink' | cut -d' ' -f3) -e 'volume: front' -e 'muted' ``` `scallback` is a callback function to update `cmd`, in case you switch between audio channels and therefore PulseAudio sink changes. If default `cmd` works for you, you can tell `scallback` to work in the same way: ```lua scallback = function() devicetype = "sink" return "pacmd list-" .. devicetype .. "s | sed -n -e '0,/*/d' -e '/base volume/d' -e '/volume:/p' -e '/muted:/p' -e '/device\\.string/p'" end ``` ### `settings` variables `settings` can use the following variables: Variable | Meaning | Type | Values --- | --- | --- | --- `volume_now.index` | Sink index | string | >= "0" `volume_now.sink` | Sink name | string | sink name or "N/A" `volume_now.muted` | Sink mute status | string | "yes", "no", "N/A" `volume_now.channel` | Sink channels | table of string integers | `volume_now.channel[i]`, where `i >= 1` `volume_now.left` | Front left level | string | "0"-"100" `volume_now.right` | Front right level | string | "0"-"100" `volume_now.channel` is a table of your pulseaudio sink channels. Fetch a channel level like this: `volume_now.channel[i]`, where `i >= 1`. `volume_now.{left,right}` are pointers for `volume_now.{channel[1], channel[2]}` (stereo). ## Output table Variable | Meaning | Type --- | --- | --- `widget` | The widget | `wibox.widget.textbox` `update` | Update `widget` | function ## Buttons If you want buttons, just add the following after your widget in `rc.lua`. ```lua volume.widget:buttons(awful.util.table.join( awful.button({}, 1, function() -- left click awful.spawn("pavucontrol") end), awful.button({}, 2, function() -- middle click awful.spawn(string.format("pactl set-sink-volume %d 100%%", volume.sink)) volume.update() end), awful.button({}, 3, function() -- right click awful.spawn(string.format("pactl set-sink-mute %d toggle", volume.sink)) volume.update() end), awful.button({}, 4, function() -- scroll up awful.spawn(string.format("pactl set-sink-volume %d +1%%", volume.sink)) volume.update() end), awful.button({}, 5, function() -- scroll down awful.spawn(string.format("pactl set-sink-volume %d -1%%", volume.sink)) volume.update() end) )) ``` ## Keybindings You can control the widget with key bindings like these: ```lua -- PulseAudio volume control awful.key({ altkey }, "Up", function () os.execute(string.format("pactl set-sink-volume %d +1%%", volumewidget.sink)) volume.update() end), awful.key({ altkey }, "Down", function () os.execute(string.format("pactl set-sink-volume %d -1%%", volumewidget.sink)) volume.update() end), awful.key({ altkey }, "m", function () os.execute(string.format("pactl set-sink-mute %d toggle", volumewidget.sink)) volume.update() end), awful.key({ altkey, "Control" }, "m", function () os.execute(string.format("pactl set-sink-volume %d 100%%", volume.sink)) volume.update() end), awful.key({ altkey, "Control" }, "0", function () os.execute(string.format("pactl set-sink-volume %d 0%%", volume.sink)) volume.update() end), ``` where `altkey = "Mod1"`. ## Example ```lua -- PulseAudio volume (based on multicolor theme) local volume = lain.widget.pulseaudio({ settings = function() vlevel = volume_now.left .. "-" .. volume_now.right .. "% | " .. volume_now.sink if volume_now.muted == "yes" then vlevel = vlevel .. " M" end widget:set_markup(lain.util.markup("#7493d2", vlevel)) end }) ```
