I just noticed you need to select the left or right audio and read them separately and probably display each of them in your conky, just change the grep to search for Left: or Right: and change the awk to spit out the 5th word.
I have to say my proposal was definitely not elegant but I was solving one issue at a time when I got to that point and knew it could be achieved more simply (or efficiently) with a different command structure but figured OP could work on that if required.
If you plan to use the command in conky then it's best to use as few commands and pipes as possible so as to save on memory usage and processor cycles — conky can use up a significant proportion of your CPU capability if you make it run enough commands every clock tick.
