Package: pulseaudio-utils
Version: 2.0-6
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/pactl

Dear Maintainer,

Although the pactl man page states for set-sink-volume SINK VOLUME:

'If the volume specification start with a + or - the volume adjustment will be
relative to the current source volume.'

If the volume is preceeded by a '-' pactl will rais the followin error:

'pactl: invalid option -- '

Using a value with a '+' (e.g. +5) works correctly.

Bests,
Lorenzo.

You need to pass '--' right after pactl:

$ pactl -- set-sink-volume -5%

Otherwise pactl tries to parse the number as an option, which it
isn't. This is expected behavior, so closing the bug.
