Wouldn't it be nice to allow `pactl get-sink-volume` ?

Dear pulseaudio Team,

there are these nice short commands to change and set the default sinks volume:

$ pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +3%
$ pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -3%
$ pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle

But what about if I want to /get/ the volume ?

Then I need to use awk, sed, grep etc... ?!

Currently I am dreaming of this to become possible: pactl get-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@

Don't you? ;)

Thanks a lot in advance for any feedback!
