polybar-pulseaudio-control VS docker-wine

I'm lacking in scripts and bash. So I don't know how to load this bash script: https://github.com/marioortizmanero/polybar-pulseaudio-control << Download the bash script from this repository, or extract it from the latest release, and put it somewhere in your $PATH. >> I didn't understand what exactly say it. I tried to run pulseaudio-control.bash but I faced << No action specified. Run pulseaudio-control.bash help for more information. >>. I need a more information about this subject. Also can you advise any source about it?

I'm the creator of the pulseaudio-control module for polybar. We recently released the v3.0.0 version, which adds support for sources (i.e., microphones). Thanks to this, you'll also be able to switch between microphones, mute them or control their volume, directly from your status bar.

Edit: I solved it by using this script

Maybe this is what you are looking for

Now that I saw its last build is from 2017, using pavucontrol seems better in any way. I will try this one.

For pulseaudio, there's a built-in module as well. You can see that on the polybar wiki. I use this instead: https://github.com/marioortizmanero/polybar-pulseaudio-control Works like a charm. Does mutes and everything and is fine with bluetooth devices.

I just made this module to easily control PulseEffects, as the creator of polybar-pulseaudio-control.

if you'd like to see those 2 other scripts for spotify and the pulseaudio control, they are located at these links: https://github.com/PrayagS/polybar-spotify https://github.com/marioortizmanero/polybar-pulseaudio-control

Docker container This alternative would eat more resources than necessary as an additional OS would be running in the background. I've also noticed that displaying the application in X11/Wayland this way seems to introduce an overhead if no GPU is shared with the container (which is negligible with the proper configuration): https://github.com/scottyhardy/docker-wine

i do not know much about docker images so i may not be of much help here but i think you should check out this project to see if it may give you a baseline idea https://github.com/scottyhardy/docker-wine

For those not using windows (like Linux or Mac), you can use docker + wine, and works great! =) (If you need help, let me know so I can explain with more details.)
