I’ve been using volumeicon for a long time, to enable the audio hotkeys on my laptop. But the problem is that if you plug in a USB or bluetooth headset, it doesn’t automatically switch to it as the default. You’d have to kill the service and restart it.

So I wrote a script that can offer me all the same functionality, and just mapped my audio hotkeys in my WM.

Thought someone might find the source useful.

      The problem wasn’t PulseAudio, it was volumeicon. For instance, when I’d pair a bluetooth headset I would start getting audio through it, but my hotkeys would still be trying to adjust the previous sink. I’d have to kill and restart volumeicon for it to work again.
