i3: get the current pulseaudio sink before adjusting volume

Adjusted from Jens Erat from
https://faq.i3wm.org/question/125/how-to-change-the-systems-volume.1.html

According to a comment this only works when something is playing, but I
think that is the only case when I need volume keys and is improvement
over it stopping working with volume devices changing. The proposed
cutting running again resulted to three devices being listed and thus
doesn't work.

I also have the volumeicon which I can use to adjust volume if I really
need to while there is nothing playing.
