Hello guys!
Sorry for the noob question... 
But how can I set up a general sound controller in XFCE? Right now, every time I want to change the audio output channel, I have to edit .asoundrc, and then restart any open program to get the sound output on the new channel.
I finally got sound out of the Bluetooth headset, but I don't have a channel to change the volume for it in ALSA Volume Control, and the sound from every program is still going through the speakers. The only way I can listen through the Bluetooth headset is using:
| Quote: | | mpv --audio-device=alsa/bluealsa file.flac |
So I'm wondering, how can I get a general volume controller that detects when I connect my Bluetooth headset or when I just want to switch from one channel to another without having to restart the program?

Hi netfab, thank you for your response.
Here it is the pastebin.

Oh, sorry!
This has never happened before. I think it's worth mentioning that I didn't install xfce-base/xfce4-meta. However, the output of emerge -p xfce-base/xfce4-meta is as follows:
| Quote: | emerge -p xfce-base/xfce4-meta
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 2.97 s (backtrack: 0/20).
[ebuild N ] xfce-base/xfdesktop-4.20.0::gentoo USE="X thunar -libnotify -wayland" 2,439 KiB

In other words, all the packages that would be installed by xfce4-meta are already installed, except for these.
I don't know if it helps but here are all the packages I installed from xfce:
| Quote: | grep xfce /var/lib/portage/world
x11-terms/xfce4-terminal
xfce-base/thunar
xfce-base/thunar-volman
xfce-base/tumbler
xfce-base/xfce4-appfinder
xfce-base/xfce4-panel
xfce-base/xfce4-power-manager
xfce-base/xfce4-session
xfce-base/xfce4-settings
xfce-base/xfwm4
xfce-extra/thunar-archive-plugin
xfce-extra/xfce4-alsa-plugin
xfce-extra/xfce4-screensaver
xfce-extra/xfce4-screenshooter
xfce-extra/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin |
To avoid wasting more time with Pastebin bugs, I'll paste the output of 'emerge --info' directly here. I hope you don't mind! (I tried to create another link on Pastebin, but the same issue happened.)

Not all the packages. If you had installed xfce-base/xfce4-meta with useflag pulseaudio on, xfce-extra/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin would have been pulled in.
https://docs.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin/start
Then, with media-sound/pavucontrol installed you'll get an audio mixer. |
