You can reference a sink by its index OR by its name pactl list short sinks > 4 bluez_sink.FC_A8_9A_2C_EB_0B module-bluez5-device.c s16le 1ch 8000Hz IDLE now just reference the name pactl set-default-sink bluez_sink.FC_A8_9A_2C_EB_0B

@LeifLiddy: Thank you for the note. In more recent versions of Pulseaudio you can indeed reference to the name of a sink on set-default-sink but you will still need the index number on move-sink-input.
