<pre>Today is 2015 and Pulseaudio still doesn't have priopity queue, or at least
prior sound device. Let me show what I mean:
For example I have 3 audio sinks (same for sources): sn1; sn2 and sn3. (I have
connected them at least once, Pulseaudio knows them and keeps their list at
~/.config/pulse/sinks.list for example).
I turn on my PC, I have only sn1 connected, so it becomes default, then I
connect sn2 and mark it manually as default. Now Pulseaudio knows that when sn1
is connected, sn2 is more preferable. Then I connect sn3 and mark it as
default. Now sn3 has top priority. I disconnect sn3 and sn2 becomes default.
Then I disconnect sn1, sn2 stays default. Then I connect sn3 and sn3 becomes
default, cause it has top priority. Then I connect again sn1 and sn3 still
default. It's ideal behavior for sinks and sources.
There is other option - store only one, manually selected default sink/source
(seems that something like this implemented in Windows 7). How it works: I boot
PC with only sn1 connected, connect sn2, amke it default manually. And now
everytime I connect sn2, it will always become default, whatever devices are
connected.
Why it should be implemented? Imagine gamer with USB headset. Each time he
plugs it - he is to manually set it as default. module-switch-on-connect is bad
workaround.
For example it could be implemented as switch-on-default-sink and
switch-on-default-source modules.</pre>
