@Pound_Hash: This tool doesn't work with PipeWire, only PulseAudio.

It fails to run with the error:

I require pacmd but it's not installed. Aborting.

Quick and dirty fix for people using pulse 13:

sed -i 's/# stop if the above failed.*/PCV=2/' /bin/pulseaudio-ctl

Hmm, maybe quick and dirty via

LANG=en_EN pactl --version | grep Linked | sed -e 's/^Linked with libpulse //' -e 's/([0-9.]+).([0-9.]+)$/\1/'
in this case? ;)

Meh, I should have figured there would be problems like that. At least the "libpulse" part can be part of the filter. Not sure what else would work. This thing is being installed on systems that are likely to have bleeding edge, but is still carrying the baggage of backwards compatibility going back nearly a decade.

This runs into trouble when you’re using a non-english system, for example, in German pactl --version returns this, making the grep fail:

pactl 13.99.2-7-g610179
Kompiliert mit libpulse 13.99.0
Gelinkt mit libpulse 13.99.0

@kode54 - Ah, I am not using [testing]. I will see.

@graysky - Without the advised changes, the script dies with this error here:

$ pulseaudio-ctl mute
(standard_in) 1: syntax error
(standard_in) 1: syntax error
(standard_in) 1: syntax error
Cannot determine which version of pactl is installed. Aborting.

Because the PAVERSION it determines from my install of pulseaudio looks like this:

$ pactl --version | grep pactl | sed -e 's/^pactl //' -e 's/\([0-9.]\+\).\([0-9.]\+\)$/\1/'
13.99.1-67-g4146

Ah, of course, it would be helpful to note that I have the testing repos enabled, therefore I'm a frequent early victim of update decisions.

@kode54 - Why though?

kode54 commented on 2020-08-16 22:41 (UTC)

@graysky - And I wasn't aware of any Arch Linux users using pulseaudio older than 13. Perhaps this can be a patch against the AUR version, then.
