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. :)
Comment 1 Raymond 2015-03-26 09:46:50 UTC 
 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 :)
