Use pactl only for PipeWire compatibility

[Klok-e]

I recently moved to pipewire and this script stopped working, so I fixed it.

I didn't test this thoroughly on pulseaudio, so it needs some testing before it can be merged.

Thanks a lot for the code. I'm positively surprised that PipeWire's PulseAudio compatibility layer is good enough to make the script work without many changes. I'll test the code a bit next week, if that's okay for you.

Out of curiosity, does everything work on PipeWire? Is it worthwhile to switch?

[Klok-e]

Yeah, I'm OK with that.

Everything works so far, and it doesn't have problems I encountered on pulseaudio, like some sinks not having audio recorded by OBS, so I had to hack up an intermediate remap sink. Overall, I'm happy with the switch.

@pzmarzly Any updates?

Please have a look at https://github.com/siddhpant/broo , I added PipeWire support along with other features.
