Unfortunately, there's no command line tool for interacting with module-stream-restore, nor any other way to achieve what you want. It would be possible to write such program, because module-stream-restore provides the necessary protocol for that, and in fact it would make sense to support this in pactl, but nobody has written the code. -- Tanu https://www.patreon.com/tanuk
