You could do either of the following:

1. get a shell to configure the pulseaudio server on the fly using
"pacmd" and then pass it the "list-sinks" argument. N.B. if you wish
to exit from the shell don't type "exit" as that will stop the
pulseaudio daemon! Use a Ctrl-d instead.

2. use "pactl list sinks"
