Choose pulseaudio sink via rofi/dmenu

rofi-pulse-sink.sh

#!/usr/bin/bash
# choose pulseaudio sink via rofi or dmenu
# changes default sink and moves all streams to that sink

sink=$(ponymix -t sink list|awk '/^sink/ {s=$1" "$2;getline;gsub(/^ +/,"",$0);print s" "$0}'|rofi -dmenu -p 'pulseaudio sink:' -location 6 -width 100|grep -Po '[0-9]+(?=:)') &&
# alternate version using dmenu:
# sink=$(ponymix -t sink list|awk '/^sink/ {s=$1" "$2;getline;gsub(/^ +/,"",$0);print s" "$0}'|dmenu -p 'pulseaudio sink:'|grep -Po '[0-9]+(?=:)') &&

ponymix set-default -d $sink &&
for input in $(ponymix list -t sink-input|grep -Po '[0-9]+(?=:)');do
	echo "$input -> $sink"
	ponymix -t sink-input -d $input move $sink
done

this is great, thank you

Hi this is sweet. how does one choose a specific stream to send to a sink? ie if i have both mpd and youtube playing currently it moves both streams?

huh, I didn't see that last comment but for reference: this script moves all streams to the selected sink.

To send streams to different outputs, I prefer pavucontrol.

What is the license of this code? Can I create a package out of it?

Sure, use is however you want. Haven't used this in a while myself, so no guarantees.
