v2.0

Breaking changes

• This module is now configured via command line options! This is much more flexible than editing the script. It makes it possible to re-use the script for multiple configurations, it's easier to update it, and it can now be packaged in your favorite distro's repositories. You can use both --option=value and --option value. The actions remain the same. These are the changes (read the README.md for more details):
  • OSD is now --osd or --no-osd
  • INC is now --volume-step
  • MAX_VOL is now --volume-max
  • AUTOSYNC is now --autosync or --no-autosync
  • VOLUME_ICONS is now --icons-volume
  • MUTED_ICON is now --icon-muted
  • MUTED_COLOR is now --color-muted
  • NOTIFICATIONS is now --notifications or --no-notifications
  • SINK_ICON is now --icon-sink
  • SINK_BLACKLIST is now --sink-blacklist
  • SINK_NICKNAMES is now --sink-nickname

New

• --sink-nicknames-from <prop>: pacmd property to use for sink names, unless overriden by --sink-nickname. Its possible values are listed under the 'properties' key in the output of pacmd list-sinks. This is a helpful fallback value for new devices, and I suggest using something like device.description.
• Some fixes to the README to improve the documentation
