  -W	Set window width
  -H	Set window Height
  -i	Set icon size
  -P	Hide percentage
  -m	Set margins ("top right bottom left")
  -t	Set timeout
  -T	Set transition time (0 disables animations)
  -b	Set custom backlight path
  -M	Set things to monitor (audio_in, audio_out, brightness, keyboard)
  -k	Set keyboard path (/dev/input/by-id/my_keyboard-event-kbd)
  -v	Prints version info

Pulseaudio support can be enabled instead of wireplumber by compiling using:
