you really mean :
$ pacmd list-source-outputs...

I got 
$ pacmd list-source-outputs|grep -E "index|application.name"
pbc at pauls-server:~$

so when I tried a skype test call I got:
$ pacmd list-source-outputs|grep -E "index|application.name"
    index: 3
        application.name = "Skype"
pbc at pauls-server:~$ pacmd move-source-output 3 1

but as soon as the call ended I still have no sound., and every time I
run it the index is different.
