Description wolf+freedesktop 2018-07-23 21:44:02 UTC 
pacmd always returns zero exit status, even when the command fails. Compare

	:( $ pacmd set-default-sink foobar ; echo $?
	Sink foobar does not exist.
	0

and

	[ wolf@ws ] :: ~
	Load: 0.38 0.24 0.15 , Memory: 6.01 %, Disk: 69.78 %
	   $ mount foobar ; echo $?
	mount: foobar: No such file or directory
	1

Returning 1 on exit would make using pacmd much easier in scripts.
