Subject: Re: [ISSUE] [CLOSED] separate package for tools in pulseaudio which are useful for pipewire

Closed issue by gt7-void on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/29576
Description:
For instance: my setup depends on `pactl` which works with `pipewire`. I couldn't find another tool which can replace some of the functionality of `pactl` (e.g. I use `pactl info`, `pactl list short sinks`, `pactl set-default-sink`, `pactl list short sink-inputs`, `pactl move sink-input`, etc. I guess some or all of those can be replaced combining `pw-dump`, `jq` and `pw-cli`, but it's a chore)
Installing pulseaudio is a pain because it's sometimes difficult to avoid having it autolaunch, etc.
As an example, debian has a `pulseaudio-utils` package (https://packages.debian.org/sid/pulseaudio-utils) which contains:
```
paplay - Playback a WAV file via a PulseAudio sink.
pacat - Cat raw audio data to a PulseAudio sink.
parec - Cat raw audio data from a PulseAudio source.
pacmd - Connect to PulseAudio's built-in command line control interface.
pactl - Send a control command to a PulseAudio server.
padsp - /dev/dsp wrapper to transparently support OSS applications.
pax11publish - Store/retrieve PulseAudio default server/sink/source
settings in the X11 root window.
```
I would be content with `pactl`, the others (`paplay`, `pacat`, `parec`) seem to have equivalent included with pipewire (`pw-play`, `pw-cat`, `pw-record`). I don't know about `padsp` or what `pax11publish` is supposed to do. I know `pacmd` does _not_ work with `pipewire`.
