Changing Pulseaudio's sinks with a fingertip!

Hi all!!

Well, I had some spare time, and the inhability to change sound output is something that kept me frustrated with the sound under linux... until now!!!

This is a quite simple script, wich should change your audio output if you only have 2 sinks...if not...well, you can just finish this script off

#!/bin/bash

currentindex=`pacmd list-sinks | grep index | grep -v '\*' | awk '{print $3}'`
currentinput=`pacmd list-sink-inputs | grep index | awk '{print $2}' | head -c 2`

#echo "index = ${index}"                        #debug
#echo "currentinput = ${currentinput}" #debug

pacmd move-sink-input ${currentinput} ${index}    #set input
pacmd set-default-sink $index             #set pa index

One of the problem I'm having just now, is I'm trying to bind this (in scrotwm), with the following code:

program[ChangeSink]    = ~/bin/changesound.sh
bind[ChangeSink]    = MOD+Shift+s

I'm trying to get this to work...any ideas?
