Okay, here's how to have an expect script check off that radio button (requires expect to be installed of course): === #! /usr/bin/expect spawn pacmd expect ">>>" send "set-default-source alsa_input.usb-Generic_FREETALK_Everyman_0000000001-00-Everyman.analog-stereo\r" expect ">>>" send "exit=\r" === If I tie that to a custom application launcher in my panel, it does check the radio button and activate the mic. Now if I could tie it to some event triggered by plugging the usb headset in, the immediate problem would be completely (if awkwardly) solved. Whit
