Bug#660997: pulseaudio-utils has no pulse-mixer utility

[aladjev.andrew]

Package: pulseaudio-utils
Version: 1.0-4
Severity: minor

pactl control is very hard to use for very simple issues. for example I want now to create a keyboard hotkeys that will make to volume up/down and mute on the default pulseaudio device. thats why I need simple console control utility. community have created great amount of scripts to implement this. for example I found and use now this script:
https://gist.github.com/1791270
I executed such commands:

wgethttps://raw.github.com/gist/1791270/volume.rb
sudo mv volume.rb /usr/local/bin/pulse-mixer
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pulse-mixer
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/pulse-mixer

# Turn the music up!
def volume_up
	puts "volume up"
	volume_set_relative*0x200*
end

# ... and down again
def volume_down
	puts "volume down"
	volume_set_relative*-0x200*
end


then I went to xfce keyboard control center and set hotkeys to "pulse-mixer up", "pulse-mixer down" and "pulse-mixer mute". this works great
Can you add such script or something similar to pulseaudio-utils? thanks.
