Pipewire default source (input) switching (Pulseaudio pactl)

# Removing pulseaudio means removing pacmd, so this is an attempt at switching the default via pactl instead.
# It successfully sets the default - but I'm unsure whether programs still respect that default or not.

# Cycles through all sources and sets whatever is the next one as the default.
# Pass -g to just print the current default source
