+volume.sh
+=========
+
+Shell script that outputs your current volume level to stdout for i3blocks
+and uses sxalert as a dumb OSD to display it.
+
+In /etc/i3blocks.conf:
+
+ [volume]
+ command=~/.scripts/volume #path to script
+ label=V #label
+ interval=once
+ signal=10
+
+In ~/.config/sxh
+
+ XF86Audio{Raise,Lower}Volume
+ pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ {+10%, -10%} \
+ && pkill -SIGRTMIN+10 i3blocks
+
+ alt + XF86Audio{Raise,Lower}Volume
+ pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ {+1%, -1%} \
+ && pkill -SIGRTMIN+10 i3blocks
+
+ XF86AudioMute
+ pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle \
+ && pkill -SIGRTMIN+10 i3blocks
+
+
+This way, input from your volume keys sends a SIG 10 to i3blocks, and it
+redraws the audio on the status bar, along with displaying the alert.
+
+notes
+-----
+
+sxalert processes are killed and dedrawn. Thus, this is not the most smooth
+OSD, as the Xwindow flickers between redraws. It works fine, however.
