$ pactl set-sink-volume 0 -3% pactl: invalid option -- '3' The following works fine: $ pactl -- set-sink-volume 0 -3% Probably options should not be reordered.
this is getopt() behaviour getopt() should stop processing after the first non-option argument is encountered setting the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT should also work around the issue we could/should check at compile time if getopt() supports "+" as the first character of optstring (GNU extension)
fixed with commit 997e3696 (post v5.0) which adds the "+" to getopt()'s optstring
