# Limitations
This widget cannot show when headphones are plugged or unplugged.
(Un)plugging headphones will result in Pulseaudio's current Sink to
change its "active" port and issue an "ActivePortUpdated" signal.
However, there is no way for Awesome to detect such signal because
its DBus API can connect only to session and system buses because,
unfortunately, pulseaudio uses peer-to-peer connections (i.e. it opens
a specific socket owned by the current user).
This is unfortunate because it's quite handy to have e.g. the muted
speakers and unmuted headphones.
That said, the widget will continue to work and update the volume and
mute state of both. It will just not show the actual status when the
headphones are unplugged.
