That particular example doesn't need any new features, because you can use
@DEFAULT_MONITOR at .

More generally, though, I think it would be nice if pactl would have more
fine-grained querying capabilities for situations where you need just one bit
of information in a script (also, the current info/list commands are not
guaranteed to not change their output format, so parsing pactl output in
scripts is a bit fragile).
