# Simple PulseAudio volume monitor
This little monitor is my attempt to read the current volume and mute setting
of the default sink from PulseAudio and make it accessible to xmobar:
```haskell
Config { commands = [
, Run CommandReader "puvol-cont" "Vol"
]
, template = "%XMonadLog% }{ \
\│ <action=`alacritty -t pamix -e pamix` button=1>%Vol%</action> \
\│ %date% "
```
If it is called as `puvol-cont` it will wait for updates form PulseAudio, read
the current value of the mute and volume states and write an output line to
stdout.
## Installation
```shell
go install kesim.org/puvol
```
For the continous mode you have to copy or add an symbolic link with name `puvol-cont`:
```shell
cd /path/to/bin/dir
ln -s puvol puvol-cont
```
