            Bug ID: 100714
           Summary: pactl: make default sink easier to specify
           Product: PulseAudio
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: tools
          Assignee: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ewtoombs at uwaterloo.ca

The current way to set volume looks like this:

% pacmd info |grep Default
Default sample spec: s16le 2ch 44100Hz
Default channel map: front-left,front-right
Default sink name: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_14.5.analog-stereo
Default source name: alsa_input.pci-0000_00_14.5.analog-stereo

*** copy default sink name ***

% pactl set-sink-volume alsa_output.pci-0000_00_14.5.analog-stereo 80%

It works, but surely there is room for improvement. Maybe something like

% pactl set-sink-volume default 80%

Or maybe even

% pactl set-sink-volume 80%
