pyaudiostream

A python script for searching and pretty-printing info about audio streams on a Linux machine.

Warning: pyaudiostream works with python3 only (Tested with python 3.8.0 on Arch Linux)

Usage

pyaudiostream is totally automated, so just call it with python pyaudiostream.py (or python3 pyaudiostream.py if you're using an older system) and a list of audio streams will be printed (if any).

Example

python pyaudiostream.py
