+""" Displays the current default sink.
+
+    Left click opens a popup menu that lists all available sinks and allows to change the default sink.
+
+    Per default, this module uses the sink names returned by "pactl list sinks short"
+
+    sample output of "pactl list sinks short":
+
+    2	alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo	module-alsa-card.c	s16le 2ch 44100Hz	SUSPENDED
+    3	alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00.analog-stereo	module-alsa-card.c	s16le 2ch 44100Hz	SUSPENDE
+
+    As "alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00.analog-stereo" is not a particularly nice name, its possible to map the name to more a
+    user friendly name. e.g to map "alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00.analog-stereo" to the name "Headset", add the following
+    bumblebee-status config entry: pactl.alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00.analog-stereo=Headset
+
+    The module also allows to specify individual (unicode) icons for all the sinks. e.g in order to use the icon 🎧 for the
+    "alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00.analog-stereo" sink, add the following bumblebee-status config entry:
+    pactl.icon.alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00.analog-stereo=🎧
+
+    Requirements:
+        * pulseaudio
+        * pactl
