Show HN: Push-to-Talk for Pulseaudio

I can mute my headset using a switch on the headset itself. So this project turns a key on your keyboard into such a switch?

You can meet just the microphone and not the headphones? If so, that's a cool feature to have.

I think it’s a pretty standard feature of the 5 or so headsets I’ve bought over the past 8-10 years. Price point: USD 25

This is correct. Every headset I’ve purchased has had this feature, but I’ve only purchased gaming headsets.

Edit: this is the headset https://www.astrogaming.com/en-us/products/headsets/a10-gen-...

Also, this is not an endorsement, I would actually not recommend this headset.

yeah my gaming headset has that but I can't see the headset so there is a tone for mute and one for unmute. I can't remember at all what is what so I don't bother
