cava VS pulsemixer

pywal is used to get the colorscheme from my wallpaper for my browser and terminal. left: neovim, top right: qutebrowser, bottom right: cava

So, I use stuff like cava (audio visualizer) and btop in my Alacritty Terminal (BSPWM to run cava, i had to use terminal right and cava launches in terminal, I wanted to know whether i could run my cava or btop or any other terminal application transparent without making my whole terminal transparent.

It's acctually really simple and really useful, I usually use it to ssh tunnel to my main pc and start a VNC server to control from anywhere. You can also code in basically any programming language like you would do on a linux machine. You can use CLI tools to, for example, download yt music and play it, you can even use cava in it. You can play with netcat, use those stupid terminal programs to run tetris with sed on the terminal or more, run a server on your phone or even run lightweight desktop environment locally to run even GIMP or firefox (though it's very resource consuming and even newer phones can't handle it properly). Theres even proot-distro which allowes you to contain a basic linux distro on your phone and launch an instance of it (gui included if you want).

3) In progress: a Philco free-standing radio housing from the 40s. I'm using one of Parts Express' boombox kits for the audio, and a Pi (with a long, narrow TFT) running https://github.com/karlstav/cava where the radio frequency display used to be. This also would be a nice candidate for a solution like the one you shared.

The widget needs cava to run. Currently you can customise the size of the widget, number of bars, colour and spacing between bars. You can also stop and start the widget (via stop(), start() and toggle() commands) so the script isn't running all the time.

Pulsemixer is the one I love. It's a TUI alternative to Pavucontrol. https://github.com/GeorgeFilipkin/pulsemixer

Honorable mention is Ncmpcpp, which is a TUI frontend for MPD.

I'm not sure which desktop or window manager you use, but you could try using a drop-down terminal like Guake and running pulsemixer on a tab in it.

Not a solution for switching audio devices from polybar, but if you're currently using pavucontrol, I highly recommend switching to pulsemixer: https://github.com/GeorgeFilipkin/pulsemixer

Mixers: alsamixer (always used) pulsemixer (always used) jack_mixer (autostarts on startup with customized default settings) qasmixer (very rarely) Non-Mixer(very rarely)
