        <pre>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%</pre>
