How do I make media keys work with PipeWire?

+2
−0

My keyboard has keys for mute, volume up, volume down. In i3wm, I used to have these bound with:

bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec --no-startup-id pulsemixer --change-volume +10 --max-volume 100
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec --no-startup-id pulsemixer --change-volume -10 --max-volume 100
bindsym XF86AudioMute exec --no-startup-id pulsemixer --toggle-mute

It was working in PulseAudio, but after switching to PipeWire, they don't. Can it be fixed?

pamixer works but I must guess the sink ID

It seems like pamixer --sink 123 -i 10 works. In my case, looks like the device which gets used as a default sink is not the one I have connected. So the problem with this command is to figure out which sink should be used.
