/sbin/pulseaudio-control: line 313: [: : Expected an integer expression

[brerk]

When i run the command:

$ pulseaudio-control --icons-volume " , " --icon-muted " " --sink-nicknames-from "device.description" --sink-nickname "alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo: Volume" listen

I get 2 errors:
/sbin/pulseaudio-control: line 313: [: : Expected integer expression
/sbin/pulseaudio-control: line 313: [: : Expected integer expression

The output of pactl list sinks short | cut -f2 is: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo

inspecting the line 313 of the script it looks like it compares 2 different volumes

[marioortizmanero]

Can you show me the output of pactl list sinks? VOL_LEVEL is probably failing to be parsed

[brerk]

Sure, my system is in spanish, so maybe that its the source of the problem

Ah yup that must be it. We do use LANG=$LANGUAGE in listen() to get events in english, but the rest of the calls don't have that. Can you try it with LANG=en_US pactl list sinks?

[marioortizmanero]

Or rather, try running the script with the prefix LANG=en_US and see if it works that way. I can make a PR to fix that later. Or maybe with LC_ALL=C, I don't know which one is best.

[brerk]

Yes, this command works as expected:

$ LANG=en_US pulseaudio-control --sink-nickname "alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo:  Volume"  listen

61% Volume

Thanks for the help :)

[marioortizmanero]

No problem! Can you try one last thing?

Try adding after the LANGUAGE=en_US line in the script a line with export LANG=en_US. That should make it work for every comand without needing to add it as a prefix, but I want to make sure before adding it to the script.

[brerk]

Just added the export LANG=en_US in the script, it works as expected.

[marioortizmanero]

Great thanks! I'll update the script then.

[marioortizmanero]

The new update v2.2.1 (also available on the AUR) should fix this issue.
