Description hortplumber 2014-08-27 13:25:47 UTC

Pertains to pavucontrol 2.0-2 from Arch linux repo.

There doesn't seem to be any way to get pavucontrol to report any sort of version info. 

None of the --help, --help-gtk, --help-all list any options which pertain to version.

Someone should be embarrassed. :)

 it is normal that a GUI application does not output message on stdout

Comment 2 Tanu Kaskinen 2015-03-26 10:08:09 UTC

Normal or not, this is a valid feature request. The only thing I disagree with the original bug report is the notion that anyone should be embarrassed :)
