## 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
})
```
