@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.

graysky commented on 2020-08-16 10:04 (UTC)

@kode54 - But grepping for 'Linked' should fail to return values for users of older versions, no? The only function PAVERSION serves is to set an internal expectation for further commands...

kode54 commented on 2020-08-16 00:02 (UTC)

It should be changed now to:

PAVERSION=$(pactl --version | grep Linked | sed -e 's/^Linked with libpulse //' -e 's/\([0-9.]\+\).\([0-9.]\+\)$/\1/')

@graysky - Works perfectly! Thanks for the quick fix.

@josh @Swipte - thanks for reporting and for the proposed fix. Fixed in 1.67. Please try can report back. In the future, open an issue on the github page rather then in the AUR.

pulseaudio-ctl is a bash script. The author is using a pretty rough regexp and bc to check pactl versions. The latest version of pulseaudio is 12.99.3 and bc cannot properly interpret the .3. You can fix this (temporarily) by replacing line 39 in /usr/bin/pulseaudio-ctl with:

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

I would submit a pull request to the author's repo, but it appears abandoned?

I'm getting this error today after an upgrade to pulseaudio: upgraded pulseaudio (12.2-2 -> 12.99.3-1)

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

Downgrading pulseaudio and libpulse fixes this.
