NAME

PulseAudio - An object oriented interface to pacmd.

DESCRIPTION

This is a suite of tools that should make scripting PulseAudio simplier. Please see further docs in PulseAudio::Backend::Utilities, PulseAudio::Sink, PulseAudio::Source.

SYNOPSIS

This module provides an object oriented interface into the Pulse configuration pacmd.

	use PulseAudio;
	my $pa = PulseAudio->new;

	my $pa = PulseAudio->new( pulse_server => '192.168.1.102' );

	## We because the absolute location of the key is {properties}{device.bus_path}
	my $sink = $pa->get_sinks_by( ['properties', 'device.bus_path'], 'pci-0000:00:1b.0' )
  $sink = $pa->get_sink_by_index(5);
  
  $sink = $pa->get_sink_by([qw/properties device.bus_path/], q[pci-0000:00:1b.0] );
  
  $sink->set_sink_volume('50%');
  
	# Execute VLC with the B<PULSE_SINK> environmental variable set the sink's index.
	$sink->exec( vlc );

	# Set the sinks's volume
	$sink->set_sink_volume( 0x10000 ); # Sets volume to max;
	$sink->set_sink_volume( 'MAX' ); # Sets volume to max;

METHODS

The get_by methods take an array ref and a value and return the first object. The array-ref corresponds to the depth and location of the value to check against. See the SYNOPSIS for an example.

get_card_by( $arrayRef, $value )
get_sink_by( $arrayRef, $value )
get_source_by( $arrayRef, $value )
get_source_output_by( $arrayRef, $value )
get_sink_input_by( $arrayRef, $value )
get_sample_by( $arrayRef, $value )
get_client_by( $arrayRef, $value )
get_module_by( $arrayRef, $value )

Retreiver the default.

get_default_sink()
get_default_source()

Return the specific requested object by unique id (index or name in the case of Samples).

get_card_by_index( $idx )
get_sink_by_index( $idx )
get_source_by_index( $idx )
get_source_output_by_index( $idx )
get_sink_input_by_index( $idx )
get_sample_by_name( $name )
get_client_by_index( $idx )
get_module_by_index( $idx )
