pavucontrol
| Version | 2026.144.1443 |
| Repo | superproject |
Graphical PulseAudio/PipeWire volume control (pavucontrol) for the desktop. Installs the pavucontrol GTK mixer and pulls in the pipewire candy, whose PulseAudio-compatible server pavucontrol connects to. The binary lands at /usr/bin/pavucontrol and is launched on demand (e.g. from the waybar volume indicator), so both its presence and the audio backend it drives are build-time verifiable.
