The manuals for pactl and pacmd are readily available if you give it a search. I found them here:

You should be able to use pactl list sink-inputs, pactl list source-outputs, pactl list sinks, and pactl list sources combined with some grep and/or sed or something of that nature to programmatically determine the correct stream and sink.
