Control all devices?

[WhyNotHugo]

I'd like to mute/unmute all microphones together (the same applies to volume control, etc).

Right now, this does not seem to be trivially possible. I need to wrap ponymix and:

• run ponymix list-cards-short --source
• for each card listed, run ponymix -c $CARD --source mute

An --all-cards flag that does this (rather than just work on the default one) would be really really useful.

I'm using this bash script as a workaround, for anybody interested.

#!/bin/sh

set -x
set -e

if [ -z $1 ]; then
  true
elif [ $1 == decrease ]; then
  COMMAND="decrease 3"
elif [ $1 == increase ]; then
  COMMAND="increase 3"
elif [ $1 == min ]; then
  COMMAND="set-volume 0"
elif [ $1 == max ]; then
  COMMAND="set-volume 100"
elif [ $1 == toggle ]; then
  COMMAND="toggle"
else
  echo "Bad argument"
  exit -1
fi

if [ -z "$COMMAND" ]; then
  true  # No command to run
else
  for dev in $(ponymix --sink --short list | cut -f 3); do
    ponymix -d $dev $COMMAND
  done
fi

For me, your script mutes all sinks. To mute all sources (microphones), I use:

for dev in $(ponymix --source --short list | cut -f 3); do
  ponymix --source -d $dev mute
done
