Would you share that python code with us? :) We could work in adding
it to ubuntustudio-controls. It will certainly help with the
pulseaudio yes-or-no battle :P

You say below that you would love to contribute but don't know how to
package. Yet you have a very useful python app. Packaging is just one
of the vertices of the project.

Please, anyone interested to contribute to the project, even if you
only have 20 minutes every week. Contact Gustin Johnson, there are
contribution tasks for every range of knowledge, interest, and time
available.
