Scripts to control volume and brightness using acpid and hotkeys

ACPI Control for Volume & Brightness

Volume was made a little trickey because of how pulseaudio seems to work. I had trouble using pactl so I am using amixer. Since there is no pulse session in root it does funny things like mutting master and speaker but then only unmuting master. To get around this I just made it so speaker is always unmutted, as well as headphone if they are plugged in. To tell the volume script it the headpines are plugged in I use a file that will catain "in" or "out" /var/tmp/headphones.log.

You can use acpi_listen and press buttons to see what their names are. They seem to be in three parts like

❯ acpi_listen
jack/headphone HEADPHONE plug

You can use this to make acpi to do all kinds of stuff.
