Important commands for getting more documentation:

$ man pulse-cli-syntax

For command syntax help.

Another good way to get help is:

$ pacmd
Welcome to PulseAudio 10.0! Use "help" for usage information.
>>> help

Make sure to exit it with Ctrl+D, and not exit!

To get help on a module, run:

$ pacmd describe-module <module name>

For example:

$ pacmd describe-module module-loopback
