I currently use the following one-liner to switch between sinks
pactl set-default-sink $(pactl list short sinks | awk '{print $2}' | sd 'easyeffects_sink\n' '' | sd "$(pactl get-default-sink)\n" '' | tofi --prompt-text " " --height 40% --width 40% --auto-accept-single true ) && pw-play --volume=0.2 /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/audio-volume-change.oga
It seems wpctl doesn’t currently support node.names which makes this significantly more complex, has anyone done something similar with wpctl? I’ve found a massive script but I want something more simple that’s a one-liner.
wpctl set-default $(pw-cli i $(pactl list short sinks | awk '{print $2}' | sd 'easyeffects_sink\n' '' | sd "$(pactl get-default-sink)\n" '' | tofi --prompt-text " " --height 40% --width 40% --auto-accept-single true ) | rg -oP 'id: \K\w+')
closest I’ve managed so far is this, which at least makes it so that wpctl sets the sink, which is an upgrade, I guess, but there’s still two pactl’s to eliminate…
yeah i’m doing this because i’m anal not because there’s a good reason to.
