PCPanel Linux

This is a WIP utility to have your PCPanel control PulseAudio application and device volumes on Linux, written in Python.

I don't know how to use PA's API (if there is one), so instead this calls pactl to get application names and set volumes.

Haven't touched Python in a while, so excuse the nasty code.

How it works

What the knobs and buttons on the PCPanel do is simply spit out 3 bytes of raw data over HID, like:

01, 05, 87

1st byte: 01 = slider/knob; 02 = button

2nd byte: 00-04 = knobs; 05-08 = sliders

3rd byte: 00-FF = 256 values, or 00/01 for unpress/press of button

Feature tracker

Config files/interface
Create OpenRGB plugin
Add PipeWire support
Add Wayland support
GUI
OBS integration
Windows feature parity
Non-pro PCPanels (need hardware)
Multiple PCPanels
- Filter by device name rather than hardcoded pid/vid
Media controls
MIDI
Keystokes

It would be really nice to have install instructions, especially for dependencies on this.
I have a PCPanel and would love for Linux to work.
Does this use python 3, or an older version? Things like this would be helpful in the install instructions.
