Show only card profiles which are available currently

[aaschmid]

Currently all the possible card profiles from pactl list cards are displayed in third tab "F3 Cards". I am wondering if this is attended or if it would be possible (e.g. via config file or cmd line argument) to only show currently available which can be detetcted via pactl list cards and searching available ports and their corresponding Part fo profile(s) properties.

Alternatively it would make it easier to mark them differently. If you think some of this is worth implementing it, I could also start a PR after some hints provided.

Example excerpts for

• not available:

hdmi-output-2: HDMI / DisplayPort 3 (priority: 5700, latency offset: 0 usec, not available)
	Properties:
		device.icon_name = "video-display"
	Part of profile(s): output:hdmi-stereo-extra2, output:hdmi-stereo-extra2+input:analog-stereo, output:hdmi-surround-extra2, output:hdmi-surround-extra2+input:analog-stereo, output:hdmi-surround71-extra2, output:hdmi-surround71-extra2+input:analog-stereo

• available:

hdmi-output-2: HDMI / DisplayPort 3 (priority: 5700, latency offset: 0 usec, available)
	Properties:
		device.icon_name = "video-display"
		device.product.name = "XXX TV"
	Part of profile(s): output:hdmi-stereo-extra2, output:hdmi-stereo-extra2+input:analog-stereo, output:hdmi-surround-extra2, output:hdmi-surround-extra2+input:analog-stereo, output:hdmi-surround71-extra2, output:hdmi-surround71-extra2+input:analog-stereo

pulsemixer always shows the same list of items, see screenshot:

Edit: Just saw that even the profile shows if it is available by displaying yes or no, see

output:hdmi-stereo-extra2: Digital Stereo (HDMI 3) Output (sinks: 1, sources: 0, priority: 5700, available: yes)

vs.

output:hdmi-stereo-extra2: Digital Stereo (HDMI 3) Output (sinks: 1, sources: 0, priority: 5700, available: no)

Color unavailable stuff differently, maybe in red. Or append "off/unplugged" similar to what pavucontrol does. And give the ability to hide unavailable ports/profiles completely via config file (once the config implemented)

Yep, working on it.

Should be doable via config now.
See hide-unavailable-profiles and hide-unavailable-ports options.

Works excellent, thanks!
