Pulseaudio output switching shell script

[strider]

I’d like to write a bash script to toggle sound output on PulseAudio between built-in audio and Scarlett USB:
For each process using Pulse, switch the currently used sound output and set default ouput to the one not currently being used.

Anyone has hints on what I should start looking for?

but seriously, when i get back home I’ll give it a real go.

Found how to set the default sink with

Code:

pacmd set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-Focusrite_Scarlett_Solo_USB-00.analog-stereo

and

Code:

pacmd set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

Only thing left now is to be able to change the sound card for the running applications.

all needed info is here, I’ll post a link for the resulting script when it’s done.
