# wake-pulse

Wake PulseAudio/PipeWire sinks from auto-suspend.

## Installation

```bash
make install
```

## Usage

```bash
wake-pulse                    # Wake default sink, exit when awake
wake-pulse -c                 # Keep default sink awake continuously
wake-pulse -s sink_name       # Wake specific sink
wake-pulse -s sink_name -c    # Keep specific sink awake continuously
```

## Options

- `-s, --sink NAME` - Sink name to keep awake (default: system default sink)
- `-c, --continuous` - Keep sink awake continuously (default: exit once awake)
- `-h, --help` - Show help message

## Dependencies

- `bash`
- `pulseaudio-utils` (pactl, paplay)

## How It Works

The script generates a silent WAV file and plays it on loop to prevent the audio sink from suspending. It monitors sink state changes via `pactl subscribe` and exits (or continues) based on the mode selected.

## Uninstall

```bash
make uninstall
```
