How to add volume visual feedback to i3 window manager?

  • 772

I've set a keybinding for my volume keys using pulse audio control command pactl: 

bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec --no-startup-id "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%"

They work fine but I would like to have also visual feedback of the current volume like some desktop environments has:

How to achieve that in i3 or even have the volume (as text value) in the status bar?
