From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Soundux comes to mind but it’s not tofi :/
I tried soundux, within 5 minutes of running it it was eating cpu and froze my pc up
Tofi can do the sound searching stuff based on MP3 files in a directory, just need a way to play a sound on top of an input device from the cli
pipewire will do the trick, might be slightly overkill tho
I think I'm using pipewire anyway, how are you thinking?
You mention pactl so I’m not sure if you’re using pipewire, but if you are there is qpwgraph or helvum you could try
I'm using pulse, had thought pipewire ran alongside it but I suppose that's wrong. Will have a look anyway though
pulse audio and pipewire are mutually exclusive, but pipewire has a pluse module so all your programs can still work even if they dont support pipewire
