Description bugreporter 2013-01-08 22:29:56 UTC 
Decreasing the volume relatively returns an error:

$ pactl -set-sink-volume 0 -5%
pactl: Ungültige Option -- 5

(Sorry for the german localisation. In english it means "invalid option".)

The problem is the -5%, as absolute and positive relative values work fine.

always reproducible.

Sorry, just found this:

Sorry for not searching thoroughly. Maybe the manpage could be amended?
