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:

Config { commands = [ Run CommandReader "puvol-cont" "Vol" ]
       , template = " %Vol% "

If it is called as puvol-cont it will wait for updates from PulseAudio, read the current value of the mute and volume states and write an output line to stdout.

Installation

go install kesim.org/puvol

For the continous mode you have to copy or add an symbolic link with name puvol-cont:

cd /path/to/bin/dir
ln -s puvol puvol-cont
