No ability to adjust sound properties #1348
Description
Contour Terminal version
0.4.0-master-9c3073db
Installer source
Github: source code cloned
Operating System
Arch Linux as of approx a week ago
Architecture
x86-64
Other Software
pavucontrol
Steps to reproduce
Since #985 Contour now beeps by playing sound. The problem is that it connects to the sound system very briefly to play it's beep sound and then disconnects. If you use a GUI client (e.g. pavuclient) to configure sound (e.g. volume, sink) then the entry for contour is too temporally brief to catch it and configure it.
Also the name shown is Qtm-PulseStream-something-something so you can't identify an entry as contour, and certainly not which window.
To reproduce open pavucontrol and make contour beep (e.g. by typing ^G).
Expected Behavior
Contour to show up for long enough to change things. Maybe I should use an alternative configuration mechanism?
Actual Behavior
contour shows up for less than a second
Additional notes
For some reason, probably not contours fault, some windows I have beep via the laptop speaker and some via my headphones. Some are loud and some are not. I can't change them easily.
echoing ^G in a tight loop doesn't work because contour still shows up very briefly, just repeatedly. It also causes contour to become unresponsive so even ^C doesn't seem to be processed. After killing the shell from elsewhere contour still takes up more than 100% CPU with the repeating strace output:

No actual beeps unless strace was attached. After 5 minutes I guess it caught up because it just exited.
