Description

PulseAudio volume and mute state can be controlled from shell commands or keyboard shortcuts. This is useful for lightweight desktops, window managers, scripts, and custom media-key workflows.

It is a command-line audio control helper. Scripts can unexpectedly mute, raise volume, or change output behavior, so users should test mappings before relying on them.
