pactl doesn't support setting absolute volume in decibels

Description
"pactl set-sink-volume somesink -5dB" will reduce the sink volume by 5 dB. What if the user wants to set the sink volume to exactly -5dB relative to full volume? That's currently not supported.
A suggestion: parentheses around the value could be interpreted so that the value should be treated as an absolute value. For example: "pactl set-sink-volume somesink (-5)dB"
