From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any simple CLI method for playing a sound over mic in voice chats? (lemm.ee)

I've got this idea in my head that I want a tofi based sound board that I can summon on a button press (and maybe fuzzy find through)

Should be fairly simple to do with the way tofi works to make the interface, but as far as I can find there's not a quick and easy way to mix sounds in with mic input using pactl

Is there any single line solution for playing a sound over mic (like a soundboard would) anyone can think of or do I need to mess around with virtual audio devices to achieve this

pipewire will do the trick, might be slightly overkill tho

I think I'm using pipewire anyway, how are you thinking?

You mention pactl so I’m not sure if you’re using pipewire, but if you are there is qpwgraph or helvum you could try

I'm using pulse, had thought pipewire ran alongside it but I suppose that's wrong. Will have a look anyway though

pulse audio and pipewire are mutually exclusive, but pipewire has a pluse module so all your programs can still work even if they dont support pipewire
