Bind a few utilities to special keys in default config

Even if users don't want these exact tools, at least it gives examples.

Maybe we should use PipeWire instead of PulseAudio? I don't know what the equivalent commands would be thought.

Hm it seems like Meson doesn't like the PulseAudio @DEFAULT_SINK@ strings, and I find no way to escape that…

Seems like backslashes work!

Unfortunately pw-cli doesn't provide an easy way to achieve the same as pactl.

The documented format for the arguments would be 5%- and +5%. 5%+ works though.

Right. I still think I prefer to use the same syntax for + and -, rather than have different variants for each.

wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%+ -l 2.0
wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%- -l 2.0
wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ toggle
wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SOURCE@ toggle

are the equivalent commands for pipewire.

Also, if you're bothering to change the defaults, you should probably also set them to be variables, I have these in my config, but I understand if you're trying to stick to i3 ways:

	$volup exec wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 0 && wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%+ -l 2.0 && pw-play --volume=0.2 /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/audio-volume-change.oga
	$voldown exec wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 0 && wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 5%- -l 2.0 && pw-play --volume=0.2 /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/audio-volume-change.oga
	$volmute exec wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ toggle && pw-play --volume=0.2 /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/audio-volume-change.oga

This assumes WirePlumber. I think I'd rather stick with pactl.

Defaults are not designed to be flexible. They're designed to be readable (good examples) and not overly system-specific. Users are going to copy the default config file and edit it to fit their needs anyways.
