@josh @Swipte - thanks for reporting and for the proposed fix. Fixed in 1.67. Please try can report back. In the future, open an issue on the github page rather then in the AUR.

pulseaudio-ctl is a bash script. The author is using a pretty rough regexp and bc to check pactl versions. The latest version of pulseaudio is 12.99.3 and bc cannot properly interpret the .3. You can fix this (temporarily) by replacing line 39 in /usr/bin/pulseaudio-ctl with:

PAVERSION=$(pactl --version | grep pactl | sed -e 's/^pactl //' -e 's/\([0-9.]\+\).\([0-9.]\+\)$/\1/')

I would submit a pull request to the author's repo, but it appears abandoned?

I'm getting this error today after an upgrade to pulseaudio: upgraded pulseaudio (12.2-2 -> 12.99.3-1)

$ /usr/bin/pulseaudio-ctl up (standard_in) 1: syntax error (standard_in) 1: syntax error (standard_in) 1: syntax error Cannot determine which version of pactl is installed. Aborting.

Downgrading pulseaudio and libpulse fixes this.

$ pulseaudio-ctl up
Invalid volume specification

The issue seems to be with a new version of pulseaudio package, pactl has the following version string:
$ pactl --version
pactl 11.0-6-g01f48
[...]

Which makes it fall into the wrong case during the version comparison (should be PCV=2, but actually ends up PCV=1):
PAVERSION=$(pactl --version | grep pactl | sed 's/^pactl //')
if [[ ${PAVERSION%%.*} -lt 5 ]]; then
# really old versions
PCV=0
elif [[ 1 -eq "$(echo "${PAVERSION} > 10.9" | bc)" ]]; then
# since v11, they reverted the -- requirement
PCV=2
elif [[ 1 -eq "$(echo "${PAVERSION} > 5.1" | bc)" ]]; then
# version is upstream 5.99.2 or higher
PCV=2
elif [[ 1 -eq "$(echo "${PAVERSION} < 5.1" | bc)" ]]; then
# version is upstream 5.0
PCV=1
fi

So then it uses the old "set -- perc" syntax.
