Allows to set volume of non-active pulseaudio clients

Pulseaudio volume setter

pa_volume is a simple tool to set the remembered volume level of pulseaudio clients. It requires module-stream-restore to be loaded (which is usually the case) to function. When called without arguments it shows all the known clients (running and non-running) and their remembered volume level. To set the volume level pass it the name of the client followed by the volume in percent.

Installation

No configure script is provided right now, but there is a simple Makefile. You will need to have pkg-config and the development packages for libpulse installed. On Debian/Ubuntu based distributions this is the pkg-config and libpulse-dev packages.

sudo apt-get install pkg-config libpulse-dev
git clone https://github.com/rhaas80/pa_volume.git
cd pa_volume/
make
