I use a little oneliner with tofi (rofi/wofi would also work) to select the current output and avoid pavucontrol. It’s mapped to a sway binding but would probably work in any wm/de:
pactl set-default-sink $(pactl list short sinks |awk '{print $2}' |tofi $tofi_args)
I’m using pipewire so the functionality of pactl is actually provided through pipewire-pulse I think
Does set-default-sink change an already current stream? Or do you need move-sink-input.
I’ve looked at the manpages but was a bit overwhelmed and didn’t try to make my own script. Your solution gives me motivation to do so. I also use sway and pipewire. Though I use fuzzel for my launcher.
pavucontrol. I switch between usb headset and my external speakers all the time. Continually going to this gui is kind of annoying.

Yeah, it changes without skipping a beat for me in pipewire, even in things like zoom/teams.
