pnmixer wasn't written with wayland in mind. I can't use wayland, because of my graphics card, so I'm unable to test anything.

If you want to dig into the code, check

https://github.com/nicklan/pnmixer/blob/44fb908b1662b946e764a905f290ffdb65cbb397/src/hotkey.c#L171-L198

I'm suspecting disp = gdk_x11_get_default_xdisplay(); maybe fails and we get a null pointer.

i'm also getting this in pnmixer under sway in Debian bookworm:

anarcat@angela:~$ pnmixer

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

but yeah, looks like there's a bit too much x11-specific code in there... maybe there's a more backend-neutral way of doing this? from what i understand, it should be possible to write some GTK app that transparently works on x11 or wayland...

and for what it's worth it does start in Xwayland mode with:

GDK_BACKEND=x11 pnmixer 

... but unfortunately, in sway (with waybar as a tray-holder), i don't actually see the tray pop up...

[hasufell]

maybe there's a more backend-neutral way of doing this?

That'll likely be a rewrite.
