</div>You can get notifications about sink input changes with the subscription<br>
API: <a href="http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/doxygen/subscribe.html" target="_blank">http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/doxygen/subscribe.html</a><br>
<br>
The API will tell you only that something changed (not necessarily<br>
volume/mute), so when you get a change event for a sink input that you<br>
are interested in, you then call pa_context_get_sink_input_info().</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Looks like something I needed.
